Shaun H Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Also I am having problems with the gears. Anyone know if this: IMAGE Uploaded with ImageShack.us is compatible with this: IMAGE Uploaded with ImageShack.us I couldn't tell you definitively but you'll have problems with indexing as that mech is designed for 9 speed drivetrains.

Matt Vandart Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 right the problem is I have a range of only three - four gears reliably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Burrows Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Shimano and Sram shifters pull different amounts of cable, and that shifter is designed to be Shimano compatible. Pretty sure they aren't compatible anyway. Also, what spacing is your cassette? Theres different spacing used for different cassettes and they all need the right shifter to work properly.

Matt Vandart Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Dude I have no idea what the spacing is, what should it be do u think? I have an X.o trigger shifter, would this work beterer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Vandart Posted October 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 All sorted now, big thanks to Leon for his Help!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 By the way, as said above, sram & shimano pull different amounts of cable, 1.1 or 1.2 ratio, sram do shimano compatible shifters (I've got 1 & it's crap) but I'd just use a cheap shimano thumb shifter & an old short cage xt or xtr mech, can't go wrong. Basically if your cassette & chain are 8sp, your shifter has to be 8sp, you can use a 7sp shifter too as it's the same spacing you'll just a lose 1 click/gear. But a 9sp shifter will piss it all up, avoid such a skinny chain on a trials bike, 8 is my limit. I use an old 8sp sachs wavey gripshift (shimano compatible) with an xtr short cage mech & it's perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
