I have a Shimano road bike and I am increasing my rear 9 speed cassette to a 11-34, I need a long cage derailleur, will this work? or recommendation?

You can, the maximum cassette range is an 11-34 on this model and above. The STI shift levers work with this derailleur, however, you might want to consider a derailleur with a barrel adjuster to readjust cable tension, like a Shimano Alivio RD M430-9. If not, you'll have to make manual and precise adjustments by hand. This is a great derailleur for its price, performance, and compatibility.

No. They are not compatible. I have two bikes, one road bike, another touring one. The road bike is on Shimano Ultegra RD6600, while the touring bike is on Deore XT system. Their mounting mechanism to the bikes are different and not interchangeable as far as I can tell and try.

I couldn't say for sure, but this is made for mountain cassettes with wide ranges, with not so small differences between gears. I would say get a road derailur made for the small steps between gears. Cant say for sure though.

Yes, this worked just fine for me with an 11-36 cassette on a road bike. However, the 592 has the cable entry more from the side (Shadow configuration). You might find the M771 XT more to your liking as it has a conventional rear entry cable. In both cases you will need an in-line cable adjuster because neither has one on the derailleur.

If your rear derailleur will accomodate a 28 tooth gear, this freewheel will work. There is a website www.disraeligears.co.uk, on which you can look up the specs for your derailleur. It is also a good idea to install a new chain with the new freewheel. The old chain has worn in with the old freewheel. A new chain will shift better.

I'm not sure if you meant to ask this question of the vendor or a buyer. But in any case, yes you can replace your Shimano 105, 12-27t with another sized cassette, provided it's a 10-speed, either SRAM or Shimano. If you went with a 11-28 you would extend the range of your gearing, gaining both a higher and lower gear. I started with a 12-27 and switched to a 11-28 a couple of years ago. I wish that I had done so sooner.

28 isn't much more than 26... it only needs 2 more links of chain. same derailleur should be fine in my opinion (used to work at a bike shop) but if you shift to the LARGE chain ring in front and the 28 cog in back (a gear you should NOT be using anyway due to extreme chain angle) then you may find your chain is too short and the deraileur arm on bottom will be pulled really far forward. When you change cogs, if your old chain is really worn (1000's of miles riding), it's a good idea to get a new chain too, and a new chain would be sufficiently long. you'll need a chain tool to cut it to length though (again make it just a little longer than your old chain).

It will work with Shimano 3x7 front derail. Definitely index shift. I have this shifter and it works As good as more expensive models.

No. Chain will be too wide for the spacing in between the cogs on the cassette. You will need a 9 speed specific chain

you can probably use the same derailer and just adjust it for the different size, as far as the chain sizes and stuff, I know almost enough to be dangerous when it comes to bike building and repairing, The way I figure it though, your current chain should be right about the correct size for the changes you are looking at making. As the other person responded make sure this will work for your hub, if you have a freehub this will work (you also need the tool to take the keeper off of the hub) if you do not, you would need a freewheel cassette. The difference is the free hub has the ratcheting mechanism in the hub and the freewheel has it in the casssette and the cassette is removed from the hub. I didn't realize there was a difference before I bought this and ended up getting a new rear wheel to go with my brand new cassette.

... ciao: first, these are NOT specific to a 9-speed rear deraileur, as they given as replacement for the X7 8-speed component. i would suggest you research the SRAM website for definitive information. in my research, it seems there are both new and old models with the 'same' identifier, but 'different' capabilities. SO, failing that, locally, they are said to work. your mileage may vary.

As a direct replacement its unlikely you could get it to shift properly the 10 speed dyna sys derailleurs are only designed for use with 10 speed shifters. In my case (9speed) this required a new 10 speed cassette,chain and shifter. 8 speed should be the same unless you have an older thread on style rear hub. To me the clutch on the derailleur makes it worth it and you could lower the cost by using slx instead of xt on some/all of the components.

If you're derailleur is a shimano tourney this should work fine without a longer chain. The freewheel tool for the removal of the old freewheel is the only tool you'll need.

your current derailer should work, you may have to move it up a bit on the frame, but should be no problems

You can use a Dura Ace chain without issue. A KMC X10Sl chain is another less expensive option / upgrade. It just needs to be a 10 speed chain. You don't need to buy another 12-30 cassette if you want to get something else. For example, an 11-25 would work just fine but you may need to shorten the chain. Park has a chain length calculator here http://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/chain-length-sizing that works really well and takes the guess work out of the determination. As far as adjusting the derailleur is concerned, most likely nothing more than a slight barrel adjustment is all that will be needed. Have fun.

No this is designed for shimano or sram cassettes only. This will work with 8 through 10 speed cassettes I think a 7 speed will work but needs a spacer.

Okay, so it's not the model of the bicycle, it is the compatibility of the components that work together. So yes, if you have 3 chain rings in the front and 7 cassette or freewheel cogs in the rear, most likely it will work. However, there are other factors: derailleur (the mechanism that reacts to the pull or push of the shift pod to change "gears") ratio (Shimano is about 2:1 units in the shift mechanism, so you need a derailleur that has the same 2:1 pin/rivet/bolt unit ratio), or something in need of replacement or readjustment.

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.

It depends on your chain, the brand and and how old that 7 speed cassette is. The width of chains have changed over time and just installing new gears can be problematic as a consequence of both the change in chain link sizes as well as the consequent changes in derailleurs. Hard to say. It will probably work in a pinch but the only way to be sure that your entire drivetrain works in harmony, you kinda need a complete set (cassette, chain, chainrings and sometimes even derailleurs and shifters if you're changing component generations).

Hi,I'm sorry I'm not familiar with that deraileur. I would suggest checking the shimannnp website to see if they have a comatibility list. Good luck.
