Hi,
Just looking to do a deal with a guy on here where I'll be taking his X9 10 speed short cage rear mech, I'm looking at the Sram website and it says these will take up to a 36T cassette, is anyone using this set up?
For reference, my plan is as follows:
X9 short cage rear mech
11-36 cassette
32T ring
1x10
Can anyone confirm this setup wil work?
Cheers
Bump.
Anyone?
X9 short cage will work fine with an 11-36 cassette and a single front ring. This is what it's designed for. It won't manage with 2 front rings though, that's what the medium cage is for, and the long for 3 rings.
I'm using a Type 2 X9 short cage mech with a 32T Bling Ring and a 11-36 SRAM cassette.
All good and no chain issues. It's as quiet as a church mouse too - Luvverly.
It'll be fine.
Cheers guys, I thought this would be the case but always good to hear opinions on this set up.
Got exactly that on my hardtail.
Nice quiet set up but a 32t could find you spinning out easily as I found. I went for a 34t up front in the end.
I'm kinda thinking a 32 will help on the cimbs, but I suppose if I move from an 11/32 cassette to an 11/36 I'll have a bigger range and easier climbing with the 34.
