Im having a few issues with what gears to get on my Giant atx dh team, Im trying to build it up with parts from around 99/00.
I managed to get myself a sram 9.0 9 speed shifter (they did come with the sl but they were to long and the team never ran them), I couldn't find a Sram 9.0sl mech for a reasonable price so went with a Sram 9.0 which should be ok I hope.
Problem Im having is what cassette and chain to get, even thou these bikes came with the sram 9.0 components they only ran 8 speed which is what I would expect from that era but should I get a 9 speed cassette or will I have issues ?
If I go for an 8 speed cassette due I tune the mech to not drop the chain if I over shift and It goes to 9 ?
Should I just get this http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Kits ... elID=89207
