Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 3, 2016 Share Let me offer some insight. Mongooser is on a downhill bike. He has to go 1x anyways. There is no option for a fd. Which is why I asked if he wants to climb it. If he wasn't going to climb it at all. Then sure, an 11-32/34 nine speed setup will be fine. I still use 9 speed myself. Nothing wrong with it. Its not hens teeth like everyone says. You could still buy it from shops for cheap. But he should't be spending money on it. Not when he's a kid who doesn't earn a living like the rest of us. Not when the benefits of 9 over 8 speed are not worth spending money on. And especially not when people here offer it for free. If he is going to spend money he saved up. If he wants to climb a bike with all that weight and travel. As young and fit as he may be. It makes more sense to go for the wider range 10 speed offers when using a 1x drivetrain. This. He's also probably lighter than his bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget 10 speed.See what Marko offers you. I have a FD and front shifter for you in 9 speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sepia Posted November 3, 2016 Share As your topic title says - 9speed solution. (It is the solution.) cheapish, strong and does the job. If you are going for podium well er, then do it.Doubt I will ever go to 10 speed as the parts are more expensive and 9sp parts, new and old, are available all over the place.

Procrates Posted November 4, 2016 Share If anyone has 9 speed stuff lying around that they don't need anymore I can really use it as I still have two bikes running 9 speed. Can trade for coffee of beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
