What is the maximum tooth sprocket you could fit on the back using a Deore DX rear derailleur?

You are arguing with a professional mechanic. Ben does this for a living. I'd listen carefully if I were you.

I was not arguing I was questioning what he said and he clarified which provided more information I would not have gotten if I just accepted what the 'master' said without question.

Show us the pictures* and we, well benjabbi can tell you.
You have techs, I mean 'bike engineers' on tap.

Also you mech, is it brand new as I forget.
If not, these mechs or at least the M770 become floppy quite quickly and this destroys shifting. I spent ages once thinking I could get away with that and it just kept not being right.

Have fun and learn from everyone.

All the 9sp stuff is fine.


*this is now also a close rear view looking at the mech in big-small and small-big. There should be no real angling inwards of the cage,

I tried to get pictures earlier but my camera did not work with this new machine.

Not much to see different from the images manic posted earlier. Just a jockey wheel close to the cassette!

I know very little about the history of the bike so just have to guess with what is in front of me. I would guess not new.

You've had advice off of some very knowledgeable people. You have argued with all of them at some point. I will now utilise the ignore button as you can't help some people.

I’m 80% convinced that this member is a sock puppet account for an established retrobiker who’s become bored/jaundiced with the scene and enjoys a good wind up!
(And before you cry “smelt it dealt it” - I promise it’s not me!)
