Has anyone used drop bars on their 9 speed mtb? What shifter/ brake set up did you use? I know Dia Compe makes a linear pull brake compatible lever but I'm wondering what 9 speed compatible shifters will work on drops.

You may want to look at cyclocross setups. Shimano stuff should work fine together (eg: Ultegra brifters w/XT derrailleur. Cantis should work. VBrakes may work, as may mechanical discs.... I'm not sure what the difference in brake lever ratio is.
