I would like to report how the new parts work together. The 11-34 CS-M771 10 speed cassette worked well with the 105 RD-5701 10 speed rear derailleur, but the chain was too short. I had already purchased a new RD-M592…
Thanks Stu, I've just ordered an 11-34 cassette and Deore 9 speed derailleur - should receive them later this week. (was unable to find a new XT M771). I'll report back once I've installed them. First I'll try the 11-34…
The older Shimano road and mountain components were interchangeable- one could mix them on a bike to get the desired gearing. Mixing road and mountain is no longer possible with current groups.
This will be for my wife's bike, and she wants me to find one that's shiny and new. So I'll try to do that, first. Thanks for the offer.
Thanks, I'll try to find a new M771 SGS locally. Some online shops in Europe have them, but I haven't found any online in North America. I'll call around to some local shops this week.
Fourfa, what is the model number of the XT rear derailleur that you installed? I'm able to find Deore RD-M591 SGS and Deore RD-M592 SGS Shadow. Thanks.
Thanks Fourfa, I'm going to try a 11-34 10spd cassette with a 9 speed XT rear derailleur. What front der do you have on the 6600 triple. That's a big gap between the 50 and 24.
I'll probably go that route - build up a crank with rings of my choice. Another alternative is to replace the left shifter with a bar-end. I thinkI'm going to end up witha Frankenbike - but I like that. This bike is…
Thanks FTT, I asked this question directly to Sugino and got this response: With STI shifters, it won't work property. You will need friction shifters. ALPINA2 Triple works with shimano index bar end shifters. It can be…
I have a Surly Disc Trucker with all Surly Vaya components (due to bike fit w/Vaya frame). My goal is to get a triple crank with the following rings: 46-36-26. Current drivetrain is 10 speed, mostly Shimano 105:…
