Dont really know where to put this but with Road gearing knowledge required thought I would get a better response than in +98 mtb?
-I have a modern cross bike with 5700 105 compact gearing 34/50 28t cassette
-I would like to increase the gearing for a upcoming event to a mtb 32t cassette?
-Now I understand that this can be done with a modern 9 speed rear mtb mech?
Can someone confirm what I actually need, Dont really understand why 9 speed mech and not 10 is needed (sti cable pull is different?) does this mean I will have to have a 9 speed cassette too? (makes sense) Also do I need a 9 speed chain or 10 speed for chainset?
So do i need
9 speed mtb mech
9 speed mtb cassette
9 speed chain
Help !!
Thanks
