why would you want to put Acera on, add some money and put something like Deore or SLX on it but I don't think it will be a problem to make the 3 x 9 Acera work on it.

its mainly because i found a 2nd hand groupset and because my bicycle gears/brakes stopped working first my brother got the chain off the casette. then after putting it back it never sounded the same. i got the bicycle full of mud then i sprayed it off. after that the brakes and gears stopped working

It wil work, just a heads up if you replace the brakes, if the hoses was cut or too short it will require a bleed. gears will work.

Sounds like the bike just needs a bit of TLC from a decent mechanic, not a new groupset

Agreed

Ok thanks guys. will fix it. but im also looking at modifying the bicycle in the future what systems will be compatible?

[Eugene]

Yes, it should work. 

Just a few things..... Make sure the bb and new crank (if you are replacing it) are compatible and if the hub will take a 9 speed cassette. 

You should be good to go. But, if you can go 9speed,a 10 speed cassette will also work. So why not do a 1x10 conversion? 

LTwoo parts are dirt cheap and (in my opinion) work as good a Shimano.

I will gift you some 10 speed stuff to get you going 

[Alouette3]

Looks like cable actuated discs brakes as stock, and 3x8 which is pretty bomb proof.

A good service should have you up and running again.

 

If you want an upgrade after that, maybe look for some hydraulic disc brakes, even Shimano MT200 series and a 1x10 conversion. Shimano makes an affordable 11-46T cassette in 10 speed.

I have brakes as well
