would this be an ideal part for doing a 1x10 conversion on my Trek 4300 disc that is 3x8. Besidesthe cassette do I have to change both shifters up fro

Sadly you have to change at least the rear shifter. Some might say you can get away within but it will always shift oddly. Matching shifters is best. That's the way they get us to keep spending money :-)

However I was going from a 3 x 10. Like there other guys said your probably need a new shifter. New crankset and rear wheel too.

Make sure that the capacity of this derailleur meets your requirements for the big cog. Other than that, new shifter (only need one since you're eliminating the front derailleur), new cassette (if you're on a 3x8 there is a chance you have a free wheel vs a free hub in which case you may need a new rear wheel. If your crank isn't serviceable (I.e. Riveted chainring vs. bolted, you will need a new crank and possibly a new bottom bracket if the chain line is changing. Usually a good idea to run a chain guide on the 1x also, even though this derailleur pulls tight and doesn't bounce much at all (maybe replace defunct chainring with guide?). Sounds like a fun project, enjoy! Make sure that the capacity of this derailleur meets your requirements for the big cog.

If you're going to change from a 3X8 to a 1X10, yes new cassette, new shifters and probably a new crankset or chainring.

I actually just did a 1x10 conversion with 32 tooth up front and a 42 tooth in back. Still works flawlessly. Definitely start with a new chain though,narrow wide chain ring up front and One Up extended cog in back with the special mad 16 tooth cog that replaces your 15 and 17 tooth cog.

The bike I used them on was a 21-speed(3x7) Schwinn(from WalMart) and they worked great. Unless there is something unusual about the Mt. Fury frame geometry, these shifters should work. Hope that helps.

I use this on an 8 speed chain set up. but I think it is 9 speed. I do not think it will work with a 10. I have mixed and matched parts for years. I think a 10 speed chain will ride between the cogs when you shift and give you a lot of trouble. the FD will also not be the correct geometry as well. Ben their -done that. I would go to the forum at http://www.mtbr.com/ and ask if a 9 speed crank work well with 10 speed chain and FD. good luck getting a 10 speed triple cheap.

Should be no problem, since they are simple friction shifters with no stops. Both shifters are basically exactly the same. I am currently using them on a 7 speed rear, changed from a 5 with no issues.

Hello Tyler, Amazon asked if I would respond to your inquiry regarding compatibility of the OT-SP40 shift cables. I installed the shift cables on a 2011 shimano ultegra 10 speed drive train with a compact crank set. As I stated in the review the cables,housing and included hardware work well and the shifting is actually a bit crisper than the original equipment. As to why they do not recommend these cables for 10 speed derailleurs is a mystery to me. I do change the cables annually so a cable set that's less than seven dollars in price may lack some longevity but to me that is not a concern. That being said you may want to contact the seller regarding the compatibility of your drive train and the SP40 Cables. Hope this response helped. Ride Safe, Steve

This is a 10 speed derailleur and will only work with that kind of setup. In order to use it you will have to update your shifters, cassette and even your front derailleur.

Yes. It will work fine. The front deraillure is no problem. You can run whatever front deraillure you want. For example, on my sons bike we have x4 shifters with a shimano slx front deraillure and a SRAM x5 rear deraillure. Their X... lineup components are all interchangeable. You just need to make sure you run SRAM shifters with SRAM rear deraillures. The front deraillure can be whatever you want. Even their road and mountain bike stuff works together. My bike is s mix of SRAM mountain bike (x9) and road bike (rival) components and I have no issues.

Not familiar with that bike, but these shifters are very adaptable. The shop where you purchased your wheels should be able to confirm these shifters as being appropriate for your machine. Good luck!

Shimano offers both a 2x9 shifter (if you have two front chain rings) and a 3x9 (if you have three front chain rings). If you are not sure, go to your bike and count the chain rings on your crank. This is not a mistake. It reads as though you are looking for the 2x9 front shifter and not the 3x9.

Better model SRAM grip shifters like X-0 and XX definitely should be used with the thinner 1.1mm cables whenever possible! (Yes, SRAM do make 1.1mm shift cables). However, for cheaper shifters it matters less, and for the grip shifters on kids bikes it makes no difference at all. Shimano shift cables are all 1.2mm

I used these to replace the shifters and cables on my Trek 4300 mountain bike. I completely removed the old cables from the bike along with the old shifters. These new shifters come with the shift cables attached. I reused the cable casing that was on my bike, applying lube to the inside of the casing before threading the new cables through. The installation of the cables was easy. The adjustment to the derailleur after the cables are installed is a bit tricky. The best I can offer on that process is to either research online, find YouTube videos, or take the bike to your local bike shop and pay them to make the adjustments.

sure, the shifter will work the same with any size chainring, it is the derailleur that is specific to chainring size

yes, assuming you have 7 speed rear deraillure shifter and chain. The width of the cassette is usually the same, it's the width of the gears plus spacing between the gears that are different.

Yes it will. The pull ratio is not 1:1-- this has the same ratio as all older Shimano ders. The only problem you might have is if you run a slightly wider chain through it. I don't think it will jam up or anything crazy like that, but you might get a little rubbing on the cage as the chain deflection increases (i.e. while you're cross chained). Just run a 9-speed chain and you'll be completely okay. Again, not that the 8-speed chain is going to lead to a catastrophe. Shimano did change their pull ratio when they moved their mountain drive trains to 10-speed. This is a little annoying, but at least there are more modern 9-speed options available (10-speed road ders will still work on lower-speed mountain drivetrains, though. I'm running a 10-speed 105 der on a 7 speed drive train with an indexed shifter :) ).

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.

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

It should adjust to fit BUT a lot depends upon your shifters, cables etc.... If you have thumb shifters I think it will work. I have seen a 7 speed Shimano click shifter work but of course it had to be adjusted to fit...I use new 6 speed twist shifters and cables when I work on a bike. For this job the time the old derailleurs will work most of the time.. It's not a big difference going from 5 to 6 speed but I don't think 7 is worth the trouble... I have stopped using this particular cassette and now use the 34 teeth low speed since our local area has some big hills......Good luck..
