Righto, i'm sure this is a very silly question but i'll ask anyway.....

Looking to go back to gripshift (i know) but dont want to blow all my cash on a complete 10spd drivetrain just yet, what i need to know is, can i run a 10spd sram rear mech 9 speed with a gripshift, i guess by adjusting the stop adjuster bolts? i do this on a shimano 10spd mech fine with their shifters so i supposed its the same?

I really fancy one of those new x9 type 2 clutch mechs running with the older 3x9 x0 twistshifters.

Thanks in advance

JB

No. Different pull ratios.

I get shimano and sram are different pull ratio's but i dont intend to mix components... i'd use x0 9 speed gripshift with a 10spd X9 rear mech, can do or no can do?

9/10 Shimano are different to each other, as are 9/10 speed SRAM.
