9sp-10sp, mix and match?

[Grannygrinder]

Simple yes or no answer will do
Hyperthetically, if i had Sram X7 2 x 10 shifters, SLX front mech, FSA Comet 2 x 10 chainset, 105 10 speed cassette and a 9 speed XT rear mech would it all work together?
Also, 10 speed chain will be needed i assume?

 

[JamesM]

no

 

[JamesM]

The 9 speed XT rear mech is where it falls down.

 

[mr_stumpy]

Thats correct the xt mech will not work with the sram shifters

 

[Andy B]

you'd need a sram 10 speed rear mech for that lot to work

yeah a 10spd chain would be needed too

 

[Grannygrinder]

Oh fudge!!!
Thankyou folks
Does it have to be a SRAM rear mech? 10 speed shimano no good due to different shifting?

If you want an X9 10 speed rear mech, I will have a virtually new one (two rides old) available next week.

 

[Grannygrinder]

Drop me a pm when she'e available

 

[Russell]

Will do.
