hi all,
so ive got 3 bikes that are all due a drivetrain overhaul. One with 11speed sram, two shimano that are 9 and 10 speed.
Just working out my options for what I need to buy in order to get the shimano ones up to 11 speed; are 9/10 speed mechs compatible with 11 speed shifters and cassettes?
thanks folks
No - the shifter won't pull the cable (and then the mech) the right amount. Your shifting will be off!
9 speed definitely not compatible.
I've heard conflicting reports on the compatibility of 10 and 11 speed, however as you already have the 10 speed mech then why not try it?
Alternatively, stick with 10 speed, add a rad cage and sunrace 11-42 cassette. I have that on one bike and 11 speed XT on the other. 10 speed shimano shifts way better than 11 in my opinion.
Cheers folks, is an 11 speed Shimano cassette okay with SRAM shifter and mech? Assuming so
