Any pics of these bad-boys available, or do I need to google/EvilBay it??

you'll need to ditch the SRAM mech too, they have a different actuation ratio

yeah, forgot about the mech, you could run the levers on friction mode! now that is retro! otherwise it'll be a shimano mech

Thanks guys
Probably going to end up too expensive, as I quite like the X-9 mech so dont want to ditch it just yet and defo not friction shifting :shock: :shock:
However, if it meets with a tree stump or summink, therefore being able to justify ££££££'s to the wife, thumbies here we go!!

You could use the 7 speed XT/Deore thumbies in friction mode then no problem using with 9 speed (or 5, 6, 7 etc)

Or, just replace your rear cluster, mech and chain with Shimano 8 speed. YAAAY! Easy and compatible.
