Just wondered if a medium cage XT shadow mech will work with a normal triple chainset?

I'm sure i read on here a while back that it may do? Could do with using it now until i can sort switching my chainset.

Yes fine, just avoid running big ring to big sprocket but you shouldn't be doing that anyway.

Great....thats what i thought.

Does anyone know which SRAM shifters work with Shimano. All i have to go on is that i currently have SRAM X9 shifters which have 'Impluse technology' written on them??????The front one is shifting an XT mech already but i'm guessing front mechs are all the same?

I know nothing about SRAM as you can tell!

You can run the front mech as you rightly stated with a SRAM shifter, but not the shimano rear mech with SRAM shifter unfortunately.

Sounds like a good excuse for new bits! ๐Ÿ˜€ And we all love new bits!! ๐Ÿ˜† if you're anything like me and you have a partner, you'll keep this as evidence to them when the package arrives!

My wife is as equally bike obsessed as me so very little justification required! I'm very lucky.......

Can't say i was annoyed when the crappy SRAM mech ended up in my rear wheel on sunday night...as you said, any excuse!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the help all.
