Sutty22 Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 I've got a 9 speed set up at the moment but have just bought a wheel with an 8 speed cassette. I want to change to 8 speed throughout cos i prefer it and want to have a trustworthy chain . Can I run an 8 speed system with a 9 speed mech and a 8 speed shifetr or do I need to change both? Thanks for any help anyone can offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 5/6/7/8 shifters and mechs are all compatible, 9 speed is different spacing... so, you'll be fine with what you have now.Ads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
