The Silverback Man Posted June 16, 2011 Share Can I go 10 speeds on my MTB just by putting a 10 speed cassette and a 10 speed shifter and new chain on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CScriba Posted June 16, 2011 Share deraileur is needed aswell i think...the pull ratio and stuff changes in my understanding so wouldnt work with a 9 spd der... not sure though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy Gordo Posted June 16, 2011 Share you might get away with not changing the derailler, but is there enough room in between the frame and wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaco-fiets Posted June 16, 2011 Share Its almost time for me replacing some bits and pieces of my groupset (9 speed). Im worried that 9 speed might phase out and because of that im scared replacing with new 9 speed stuff. Â Will 9 speed be phasing out anytime soon? Is 10 speed far superior to 9 speed and therefor worthwhile just getting a new 10 speed groupset anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inusc Posted June 16, 2011 Share what derailer do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummibear Posted June 16, 2011 Share Will 9 speed be phasing out anytime soon? No but you will battle to get XT and XTR quality in 9 speed in a few years. New 2012 XT is out so price should drop on current XT You will need to replace the rear deraileur when going to 10 speed.

River Rat Posted June 17, 2011 Share Jaco, I have just recently changed to 10 speed ( came with my new bike). It is a 3 x 10 and I get the feeling that there are too many gears, if that is possible. I've only had three rides one of which was the 77km at the Induna so maybe my perception will change with more rides. It might be that a 2 x 10 is more effective but I won't know until I've tried it.

Groadie Posted June 17, 2011 Share Jaco, I have just recently changed to 10 speed ( came with my new bike). It is a 3 x 10 and I get the feeling that there are too many gears, if that is possible. I've only had three rides one of which was the 77km at the Induna so maybe my perception will change with more rides. It might be that a 2 x 10 is more effective but I won't know until I've tried it.I'm riding a 29er with 3x10spd. Before this I was on a 3x9spd 29er. As a heavier rider (95kg) who loves multi-stage MTB, I got great use out of the 3x10 option on Sani2C. BUT - Whatever works, I guess - although there's no reason to make your own ride tougher just to please critics who swear by cutting out 10 speeds!

Jaco-fiets Posted June 17, 2011 Share I have nothing against 10 speed. Im just happy with the 9 speed and dont see the need in changing (probably because i have not experienced 10 speed on mtb). Just scared buying new 9 speed bits to find out couple of months down the line that they are phasing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_im_from_earth Posted June 17, 2011 Share Funny how we all want more gears on the back and less on the front... Sure;y if we weren't all trying to run double or single ring setup up front we would all be satisfied with our 8 or 9 speed bikes? LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
