MariusC Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 I want to upgrade my groupset but don't have enough to do it all at once. So I would be doing it piece by piece, But what I am not sure of is if the new parts will work with my current groupset. Currently I've got Shimano Acera. First thing I would like to get is Shimano M770 xt 9spd rapidfire shifters. Would it work?All Inputs would be appreciated.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 As far as I know, Acera is 8 speed... If so, then no - it won't work.
MariusC Posted February 29, 2012 Author Posted February 29, 2012 So it should work because its 9 speed? here's the spec of mine :Shifters: Shimano Acera M390, 9 speedFront Derailleur: Shimano AceraRear Derailleur: Shimano Acera M390Crank: Shimano Acera M391, 44/32/22Cassette: Shimano HG20-9 11-34, 9 speed
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 If it's 9 speed, then yes - you can use it...

MariusC Posted February 29, 2012 Author Posted February 29, 2012 So I take it 10spd is the way to go?
gummibear Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 So I take it 10spd is the way to go? If you can wait and save then yes. Nothing wrong with 10 speed SLX,very good for the price and only a little heavier.
