[Closed] Shimano zee 10speed for a 9speed set up

It will work with a SRAM 9 speed shifter and a 6mm washer.

how bout an XT shifter?

Shimano changed their cable pull for 10 speed, made it very close to what SRAM use. Means that Shimano 10s won't work with their 9s stuff.

Can you get a 9 with a clutch?

This thread has a bit of info and a link to a ridemonkey thread that explains all.

Basically you can run it so long as you've a 9 Speed SRAM shifter - I might have an X9 going spare somewhere I could do you for the purpose.

Yeh that would be great, just started looking on eBay. Let me know what your after and il ping the funds over 🙂

Astura - could you drop me a reminder email (in profile) so I don't forget to have a look in the garage tomorrow?

Cheers

Hi Gary, did you get my mail?

I also have an X9 9 speed shifter available if anyone is interested in doing this (mine worked fine without a washer), mail in profile.

i have a shifter just need the Zee rear mech, which model do I go for?

The FR model with the wide 32/36t range, unless you run a road cassette.

Like that one?

That's the one (not sure there are any other types) If you're putting it on a DH bike and are using a road cassette you can get away with the 23-28t range version if you're using it on a trail bike with a reasonable rear cassette range you'll need the 32-36t version.

And a spacer - you can try it without as munrobiker did with success but my experience suggests it's better with a 5mm spacer under the cable clamp.

I have one of the wide range zee mechs in good nick for sale if needed. Email in profile

Yeh pls, need the 32- 36 one if u have one thads great il take it

Clutch mechs will also work with a 9 speed thumbshifter on friction setting. Works surprisingly well!

Got it all set up however should it support 3 rings up front or just 2 and a bash!
