After the ride yesterday, and fu[king my knee up, i've decided to get gears 
I was really liking SS too
So what do I need?
- 9sp casette
- 9 sp shifter (slx?)
- rear derailleur (slx/deore??)
- cable and hose?
- i'm guessing some sort of chain guide as I have a single chainring upfront..
Anything else?
What stuff should I get?

What size chainring do you have on the front?Now that we are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves. ROMANS 15:10

That'll give you about an 80ish cog = 25mph top speed on the flat with an 11 - 32/34 cassette - good setupNow that we are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves. ROMANS 15:10

kewl
haddn't even thought about it 
just more worried about my knee
whats the difference between the SLX long and medium cage deraulleurs? *no idea*
Also, what chain guide? I'm guessing e-13 would be good, but haven't got a clue which one.... i'm thinking the SRS?0 -
if you are keeping one ring on the front tou can run a short mech.
and any device."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

No probs! If I decide on a hardtail for commuting, its almost tempting to buy this kit now and store it for when the original bits need replacing.================

where is the post gone explaining the different types of chain guide mounts? can't remember what I have on the surge 0

IIRC there isnt an ISCG mount on a surge, so you will need a BB mount chainguide, or get something like this. best to check on your frame though, an iscg mount will look like 3 bolt mounts surounding your bb cups"Its all fun and games till someone gets hurt, then its hilarious"
