Hi,

I'm planning on running a 2 x 9 set up on my lads bike.
Can I get away with a shorter cage mech, so 22t, 32t & bash up front.

Anything else I should consider?

Read up on the Shimano mainsite for the range of each of your possible rear mechs. Range is difference between largest and smallest chainrings + difference between largest and smallest sprockets on cassette.
You need an MTB mech for largest sprocket over 28T.

Budget....remember Dura-Ace and XTR are best...the rest fall away in price to affordable.

Job done.
