Sram Gearing.

Hi all. Have got a new rear rim for my orange and i am going to use sram gearing. i was reccommended the sram x-7 derailler but there is the option of a log cage or a medium cage. what would be best. also what trigger shifters can i use, what cassettes can i use and what chains can i use with the x-7?? 8)

Long cage if you are using a triple chainset, medium if you are using a double chainset.

You can only use Sram shifters with Sram rear mech's

You can use any cassette & chain, I prefer Shimano cassettes & Sram chains.

ok, im using a single cog on the front so a medium

If you've only got one ring at the front you could get a different mech and a short cage even.

so what is the best sram derailler?

X.0 is the best SRAM make but they're MEGA expensive. Not worth it IMO.

X.9 is the next best, then X.7 and so on down the range.

I just got a 2008 X.7 rear mech (medium) which is supposedly the 2007 X.9. I also got a X.7 shifter.

I think they were about £35 each from CRC.

I'll be running with them with SRAM PC990 Chain, PG990 Cassette and single Blackspire 36t with e.13 SRS up front.
