Latifrons1 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Will I be able to use the shifters currently on my bike that work with a 10 speed front and rear derailer on a 11 speed front and rear derailer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomo Posted January 19, 2019 Share Not as 11spd.But could it work as a 10 spd.?I've used 9spd derailleurs with 10spd shifters in the past and visa versa, and likewise 10spd Sram derailleurs with 11spd shifters. LBKloppers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smartie Posted January 19, 2019 Share The front derailleur will work, but the back will not (if intending to run 11-speed, but will still work as 10-speed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marshall Posted January 19, 2019 Share The rear will not work well. In an emergency sure but it would frustrate me long term. There are three variables. 1) the amount of cable the shifter pulls with each index and 2) the distance the derailleur moves with each pull. 3) the distance between the centre of each cog. All of these are different on Shimano 10 and 11 speed. Fitting this is hit and miss mechanics in my book! GaryvdM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
