Mixing SRAM and Shimano Components

[markStockton]

Anyone tried mixing a SRAM read d?railleur with a Shimano Cassette? How well does this work. 

[FanieFiets]

was wondering the same a few days ago. road or mtb?

SRAM cassettes work fine with shimano RD's, so I don't see why it should be a problem. The spacing as the same on both.

It works 100% on road and MTB and Shimano der with Sram casettes.

I'm using SRAM with Shimano XT Cassette and Deore chain... works well...

 

I've also used SRAM Rocket twisters with Shimano rear der... works too...

[Thug]

Mark, you talking MTB ?

 

If MTB, don't think you'd have a problem. I used to run a SRAM cassette on a Shimano drivetrain but have never tried the other way around.

The only thing you can't do is mix shifters and rear mechs.

 

Sram 1:1

 

Shimano 2:1

I used a SRAM cassette on a 9 speed dura ace and it worked fine

[whistler]

Also got a SRAM cassette on Shimano drivetrain. PG970 cassette with Shimano XT. works fine, actually is lasting quite a while now already...

Sorry I forgot there is that other side to cycling. My question is MTB related, specifically XT cassette with SRAM X.7 or X.9 shifters and RD.

Sram 1:1
Shimano 2:1

Is that both Front and Rear?

 

I'm looking to get the best 'fit' front derailleur on my 29er MTB so could go either:

SRAM X.9 Trigger sh*ters with an 09 XT front derailleur

or

XT Trigger Shifters with SRAM X.9 front derailleur

(I obviously haven't mentioned the other comdinations X.9 to X.9 and XT to XT - they will obviously work)

[Wyatt Earp]

Just the rear, an XT front mech will work beautifully.

All works except sram red cluster wont fit on new dura ace wheels

My GF 's specialized Epic came stock with an XT Cassete and X.0 rd.
