So going from SS to a 1 x 9 or 1 x 10 setup and can't make my mind up which to do.
I have used a super short Shimano road rear mech on a similar setup on my DH bike so thinking of doing the same as I had good setup with it.
However I was told by a friend that the new 10spd Shimano MTB stuff isn't compatible with the road stuff, is this true??
So I started looking at a SRAM road mech and a 10spd shifter.
Then another friend recommended spending more money on the shifter than the mech as you'll more likely get better shifting on a higher spec shifter than a lower spec one but not so much of a difference on mechs (which I can understand). So looking at 10spd shifters, do I spend the extra £20 and go X9 over X7?
Or
Do I spend the same as what the 10 spd X7 would cost and get the 9 spd X9?
I can't overly see the necessity for 10 spd but as I am buying new and future proofing future purchases my thoughts are to go 10 spd now. In a few years will we be looking at 9 spd the same way we look at 8 spd now??
