Hi,
I'm looking to upgrade my 8 old Alivio speed setup to 9 speed but a bit at a time as funds are very limited at the min.
I'm going to need a cassette, chain, front and rear mechs and shifters as I already have a chainset that i can use.
Are there any 8 speed compatibe bits that i can use l bolt on straight away without having to collect all of the kit before i fit it to the bike? Deore XT or LX stuff probably.
Any help greatly appreciated and sorry if this has been asked before.
Thanks
Phil

Apart from the mechs (and you could even use your old one), no. You have to do it all in one go.0
