| Mar 4, 2014 at 20:18 | comment | added | Booker | You are partially right. I'm just going to quote the expert in this case... I was generally speaking of 9 speed and lower within a brand, in this case Shimano. I have edited my post. "Within a given brand/style of rear derailer, all "speed numbers" are generally interchangeable. This applies to all indexable models, basically everything manufactured since the late 1980s. There are a few exceptions:" | |
| Mar 4, 2014 at 14:10 | comment | added | jimchristie♦ | This is only part of the story. It's best to make sure that the number of gears matches. If the OP uses an 8 speed derailleur, shifting won't be optimal. I'm not entirely sure about a 10 speed, but I think I heard somewhere that they changed pull ratios with the switch to ten speed. If that's right, it wouldn't work at all. | |
