ive no real interest in "upgrading" my very effective 9-speed SRAM/Zee/XTR hybrid drivetrain but I am curious about adding an expander cog to extend the range. Anyone done it? If so what did you do?
For reference:
Shifter - SRAM X0 or X9 - I forget
Mech - Shimano Zee - shorter cage version with cable spacer
Cassette - XTR 11-34 9-speed
Happy to buy a RAD cage if necessary.

Bit of info for ya.

You even have the right cassette to do it.
That's interesting thanks Rob. So it can be done - anyone know if the ramps are in similar positions on most cogs? I'd prefer a British made one if possible.

No worries.
You'll be outside the limits of what a short cage mech can handle officially (11-36 max). It might work but a medium would be better. Can you even get a RAD cage in short as well?
