    I am looking at up grading the SRAM X.9 on my bike to an X.9.

    Can anyone advise what the different cage lengths refer to? Will all fit and work fine on a 27 speed MTB???

    I'm not sure how much of an upgrade X9 to X9 is?? 😀 😕 But you will need a long cage for 27 speed? Some will say you can get away with a medium, but long would be best….hope that helps.

    Same cage length 'rules' apply to all types of rear mech regardless of make.

    Medium or long cage will work on 27-speed.

    Thanks. If only I had the excuse of the 5 being near to the 9 on my keyboard, but my laptop doesn't look like that …..
