Less than 170 from crc if you re use your cranks and chainring(provided its in a good enough state)
I've already got a mech in decent nick, just wondering if I really need to buy a new one.
I'm running a 10s shifter with an 11s mech, both shimano, so it might work?
If you're buying individual bits, give it a try and report back, worst is that you need it anyway but if it works then happy days
If we assume [url= http://blog.artscyclery.com/science-behind-the-magic/science-behind-the-magic-drivetrain-compatibility/ ]THIS [/url]is correct, then I doubt it, though I haven't actually "done" the combinations on a calculator
pull is different between the rear mechs. you'd have to add a spacer on the mech arm. just buy the mech
