Will my early 90's Shimano Deore LX deraileur have enough range for this 14-34 set, or do I need another?

if your bike is 7 vel. you're not going to have any kind of problem. just mount your freewheel, and ready to run. if maybe a little adjustment with small screws having the deraileur you can fix is needed. I hope you solve Manny

I'm not sure but I have a feeling that it won't work. I don't believe that it will give you the range from side to side in order to reach all of the gears. There are 9 speed derailleurs for sale on Amazon. I recently ordered a 5 speed Shimano derailleur. It works great. I mounted it on a vintage 1970's era bike so I did have to drill a couple of holes in the frame to mount it. Hope this was helpful.

If your documentation says to use Shimano tool TL-LR15, this should work fine. Note that there's some indication on the forums of quality issues some time ago (3 years I think) where the tolerances weren't very good. No guarantee that there isn't bad stock floating out there -- don't be shy about returning it if you get a bad one.

XTR & XT 7 speed generation would be from the early 90's - I highly doubt you will find that unless it comes off an old bike. Shimano does not even do 9 speed XT any more, only 10 speed now.

Yeah, it will fit. You will need a 9 speed chain for sure. The front shifter on a 4300 is designed for an 8 speed, so you can tweek the derailleur until it just barely works, or buy a new 9 shifter too.

Not any derailleur. on my bike, there are almost no space left between derailleur gear and the biggest gear. You will just have to estimate will there be enough space left if your your last gear grow up to 34 tooth

if you read in the description this derailleur will handle a maximum 34 tooth cog,yes it will work!!

Shimano tourney. Very inexpensive derailleurs and shifter but it actually works pretty well.

I have the ultegra short derailer and switched from a 11-28 tiagra cassette to the 12-30 ultegra casette. It maxes out the derailer but has worked great for the Pittsburgh hills. Just completed the DC to PGH ride with that setup.

I'm not sure about he SIS but I would think so. I don't know the model of my front derailleur but it has two gears as my bike is a 14 speed and it worked great for me.

Yes. I have bought a TREK 4400 for my wife in 2005. The bike was a 24 speed ( 3 x 8) with DEORE rear derraillheur. Years later I've upgraded this bike to 27 speed . I've only bought new set of shifters ( 3 x9 ) and a new cassete with 9 gears. I kept the same old DEORE rear derrailleur which is still in my wife's bike working perfectly. Few years ago, TREK has downgraded the 4400, replacing DEORE for ALIVIO line. I am not sure if TREK is still producing the 4400.

I think it should work, the derailleur will need to be adjusted for the extra travel. The biggest challenge is probably getting the 40 year old freewheel off the hub

These will most likely not work. Sram is 1:1 Ratio and Shimano is 2:1. I had to replace my rear Shimano derailleur but was able to use the front Shimano derailleur.

I don't know. I matched this item to my bike. It is not identical to the factory derailer, but works great. Match as close as you can is my only suggestion.

Since the bar end shifters are intended for 8-speed rear cassette you will need to find a compatable derailleur. I checked online and most everything is 9-10-or11 speed now. In the past I have had both Dura-Ace and Ultegra derailleurs by Shimano that worked great but they were 8-speed systems ant that was about 15 years ago. Not sure if the 10 or 9 speed will work or not. I would check with a good bike mechanic before buying just to be safe. I bought and older Specialized Warrior Sport that happened to have an 8-speed rear cassette (not sure of the brand of the derailleur) and I installed the bar end shifters and they work great and have made riding fun again.

Yes it will work. If you change to a 9 or 10 speed you would need derailleur.

I'm using my 12-30 with an Ultegra short cage, and it works just fine, this despite the fact that when I originally set it up the opinions expressed at the time said it would not work. I believe even Shimano had a company opinion that it was not appropriate to run that combo. That said, you are still at the mercy of "try it and see if it works." If it were me, I'd take the chance, but you have to make the final call. As in my previous answers about this set-up, I'd remind you to not give up if it seems it won't work initially. Chain length is critical in being able to keep the idler pulley from contacting the 30 tooth cog, and I think I may have messed with the stop screw as well. I wish you the best of luck!
