So our neighbours son is out and about and this weeks carnage is he has pulled the Tektro (yes, I know..) mech apart with a stick in the wheel. The plastic has shattered and it's not repairable. New mech time. I gave him a SRAM X4 but it won't deal with anything on the cassette bigger than 34t so he currently has 6 out of 9 speeds working.
The Tektro mech was working perfectly with a SRAM 9 speed shifter (the Tektro shifter was beyond appalling). Will a 9 speed Cues Linkglide work with the SRAM shifter or are the pull ratio's all different?
Cues mechs are well priced against a new Tekro of the same type he broke...
I think that CUES is a 1:1 pull ratio (no idea about SRAM).
Technically Linkguide components are only meant to work with other LinkGuide kit but I don't know if it'd be a problem here (it'd only be jockey wheels here).
If it's any help, Merlin have a 9 speed X4 for £15, would that work?
-- Edit --
That SRAM's not going to cope with the big cogs is it? Sorry!
Interestingly it say 1:1s on it, if that's standard across SRAM kit (I've no idea) the shifter might work with CUES, but it's a bit of a guess.
It's a tricky one and that X4 won't do the three bigger cogs on his cassette as you spotted....
Found this so reading carefully....
