The Cheuh Posted September 10, 2010 Share Until I can replace the shifters, will 8 speed shifters work with a 9 speed cassette? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flowta Posted September 10, 2010 Share yes, u just gonna have to set your low gear max to not shift to the last cog. It still won't work (unless you're really lucky and have some play in the chain etc.) because the spaces between the sprockets are different. The 8 speed and 9 speed fit in the same space, and the shifters will pull a certain amount of cable per shift. This is on the rear, the front will work fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cheuh Posted September 11, 2010 Share Thought that would be the case as the cassettes are the same width. Thanks Flowta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

covie Posted September 11, 2010 Share What would life be without the occasional grammatical rebuke mate I might even look at punctuation if I wasn’t so tired after today’s ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
