CAAD4 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Damn ???? that plan thwarted by a technical hitch .... ah well will have to think about something else to do with the 'daleDamn I was liking the idea of a lefty MX bike...
NotSoBigBen Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 So gents, today I trashed the RD on my MonsterX bike sadly. Will a 9speed MTB RD work with the 9sp road shifters? I have been told that this setup is used on some tandems ......
2 X 2 Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Ten speed road shifters only work with 9 speed Mtb rear derailer. I don't know about the 9 speed road shifters? Maybe try a 8 speed rear derailer?
NotSoBigBen Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) I have an XT 9SP will test it later  Bonus would be being able to run a wider range cassette? Edited March 17, 2015 by BigBen
NotSoBigBen Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 So yes a 9sp MTB rd does work with 9sp road shifters [emoji3]
Monark Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 if you combine a 9 speed rear derailleur with 10 speed shifters do you still get 10 speed?
NotSoBigBen Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 if you combine a 9 speed rear derailleur with 10 speed shifters do you still get 10 speed?My understanding is yes.
2 X 2 Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 So yes a 9sp MTB rd does work with 9sp road shifters [emoji3]Â Â Glad you could confirm this
2 X 2 Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 if you combine a 9 speed rear derailleur with 10 speed shifters do you still get 10 speed? Yes the 9spd rear derailer has got that range
Mongoose! Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Still so tempting to build one.... but where will I get time to use it
Monark Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Pity I only saw this now! I wouldn't have bought sram shifters
the nerd Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Pity I only saw this now! I wouldn't have bought sram shiftersEish bro we told you about the shimano compatibility. But sram is still cool. Ryanpmb 1
Musketeer Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 This might be a stupid question, but have to ask. I have read elsewhere on this thread about using a smaller mtb frame? I have no desire to buy a road bike but have an XL XTC frame that I want to build up for a commuter and maybe slap some slicks on for the odd tar excursion. I'm on the cusp of a L and XL frame on the mtb, so will the XL not work? Asking as a complete novice.
