Can you use 9 speed shifter with 11 speed cassette?

9 speed (or8,7,6) MTB mechs won't work with 10 or 11 speed shifters.

Can you use 9 speed shifter with 11 speed derailleur?

No, an 11 speed road shifter has a different pull ratio than an 8, 9 or 10 speed. Any 8, 9 or 10 speed road shifter will work with any 8, 9 or 10 speed road rear derailleur (unless it's Tiagra 4700). However, the 11 speed road system pulls more cable per shift and therefore is not backwards compatible.

Can I use an 11 speed cassette on a 9 speed?

An 11-speed cassette will fit on a 9-speed hub only when the hub is wide enough. Luckily, 8,9,10 and 11-speed mountain bike hubs have the same spacing, and one can therefore use an 11-speed cassette on all of them.

Can 9 speed shifter use on 10 speed cassette?

A 9-Speed Derailleur Can Work With a 10-Speed Cassette Only On Road Bikes. Luckily, the rear shift ratio of Shimano's road bike groupsets is the same for 8, 9, and 10-speed transmissions. Hence why it's possible to combine a 9-speed derailleur with a 10-speed cassette.

Can a 9 speed be converted to 11 speed?

Converting a 9-speed wheel to 11-speed

You will have to buy a new 11-speed wheel and replace the entire wheel. On the other hand, if your current wheel is an 11-speed wheel, you can convert it to 11-speed by removing the low spacer from the low side of the 9-speed sprocket and installing an 11-speed sprocket.

Can I fit an 11 speed cassette on a 8-speed hub?

An 11-speed road cassette cannot be installed on an 8-speed hub. The hub is too narrow and creates rubbing between the chain and the spokes when riding in the smallest gear.

Are 9 and 10 speed cassettes the same width?

they are the same width. The distance between the 9 speed gears is ever so slightly wider than on a 10 speed cassette (hence why 10 speed chains need thinner side plates than 9 speed ones.

Can you change a 9 speed to 10 speed?

9 speed and 10 speed cassette are the same size.. they fit all the same wheels N hubs. only diff is the spacing between the rings and the thickness of the chain. you'll need a new shifter, derailleur and chain to make a 10 speed work on a 9 speed.

Will a 9 speed front derailleur work with 10 speed?

A 9-speed front derailleur will work, but it's not optimized and may result in more chain drops or slower shifting -or no shifting at the extreme ends of the cassette- because the gap between plates is larger than what's required for a 10-speed chain.

Will a 10 speed cassette fit a 9 speed hub MTB?

Yes, 9 and 10-speed Campagnolo cassettes are cross-compatible. However, you cannot install a 9-speed Campagnolo cassette on a non-Campagnolo 10-speed hub.

Will a 12 speed cassette fit a 9 speed hub?

It is a wide ratio cassette that has an alloy spider, lockring, and spacer. It will fit any Shimano or SRAM 8, 9, or 10-speed freehub body, and Shimano Dynasys 11-speed mountain freehub bodies.

Can I upgrade my bike cassette?

Of course yes, anyone can change a bike cassette by himself, it's not hard bike mechanics, you need specific tools for the process, but if you're not sure or you don't have the tools at the moment, it's always better to give it to a professional bike mechanic for a quick change.

Are Shimano shifters interchangeable?

Most 8- and 9-speed Shimano mountain bike and road kit is inter-compatible because they both use the same cable pull ratio. This means that you can use an 8 -or 9-speed mountain bike derailleur with road shifters or vice versa.

Can you mix SRAM and Shimano?

SRAM's cassettes and chains are compatible with all of Shimano's groupsets, and vice versa. Likewise, Shimano and SRAM buyers have the freedom to mix different levels of chains and cassettes so long as they are designed for the same kind of transmission.

Can I use SRAM shifter with Shimano derailleur?

Condensed Answer: In general, it's possible to combine a Shimano front derailleur with a SRAM shifter because both brands use extremely close cable pull ratios for the front mech.

Can I use a 9 speed derailleur on a 8 speed cassette?

Condensed answer: 8 and 9-speed derailleurs have the same rear shift ratio but only when both models are made either by Shimano or SRAM. In consequence, a 9-speed derailleur can work just fine with an 8-speed cassette produced by the same brand.

Can you use a 9 speed derailleur on a 7 speed bike?

You'll be fine. I had a Deore 9-speed rear derailleur with a no-name Shimano 7-speed cassette and worked fine. The only thing is that you may need a bit more adjustment on the derailleur for the first setup because of the change.

Will a 9 speed front derailleur work with 8 speed?

In practice, they are interchangeable. You can use a 9 speed FD on an 8 speed crank.

Are Shimano 9 speed and 10 speed cassettes interchangeable?

Shimano 8- 9- and 10-speed cassettes/hubs are fully interchangeable for wheels with steel Freehub bodies. The only parts that are different in any important way between the 8- 9- and 10-speed systems are the shift control levers.

Which is better 9 speed or 10 speed?

Depending on what manufacturer you go for, 10 speed is usally only one more speed than a 9 speed, and not even so because your gear ratio don't change much. Ten speeds are harder to deal with in setting up because they tend to be more finicky.

What is the difference between a 9 speed chain and a 10 speed chain?

The main difference between a 9 speed chain and a 10 speed chain is that the 10 speed chain is thinner in width, because of the 10 speed cassette, which in turn means the chain is lighter.

How wide is an 11 speed cassette?

Chains for 11-speed systems are around 5.4mm wide on the outside, vs. around 5.9mm wide for 10-speed ones, so that's 0.25mm narrower from the center of the cog tooth to the end of the chain pin on each side. That's not enough to likely even be noticeable in any difference in how it passes through the jockey wheel cage.

Do I need 11 speed?

Having more gears to choose from means you are more able to stay at your ideal cadence. This means that an 11-speed setup is the best bet if you can afford it. Just remember that spare parts will be more expensive than on a 10-speed setup.

Can I fit a 10 speed cassette on a 8 speed hub?

Condensed Answer: Shimano and SRAM 10-speed cassettes can be installed on 8-speed hubs because 8,9 and 10-speed cassettes have similar widths. However, a Campagnolo 10-speed cassette won't fit on an original 8-speed hub due to incompatible spline designs.

Can I put an 11 speed cassette on my bike?

Luckily, many common and not-so-common wheelsets, as long as they're at least 10-speed, can be upgraded to 11-speed by purchasing a new cassette body. The body is the part that attaches to the center of the hub and drives the wheel and bike when you pedal.
