I posted this in the retro section too as i feel it has potential value to someone trying to make an old groupo work on a new project.

the mech in question is a sram x-9 bottom pull only - low clamp model. I have a goosed dual pull x-7 and by my reckoning, the cable clamp arm is pretty much the same from a mechanics point of view (with the exception of the cable guide for DP on the x-7 arm.

if i was to flick the circlips off the x9 and switch the x-7 arm onto it, will it work or am i on the verge of killing a perfectly good mech?

dismantle the goosed one then put it back together, if this cant be done the leave the working one as it is


goosed parts are best used for learning
