QQ Rear mech compatibility

blablablacksheep

Just want to check before i do this,

Looking to replace the rear mech on my rockhopper bike,

Am looking to get a SLX rear mech SGS type as this seems to be the correct type for my bike, question is though do i need to replace my shifters??

I ask as i remember hearing about making sure the shifters are compatible with the mech, as they are "dyna sys" now..

heres the rear mech im getting, do i need new shifters or im ok?

will not work. dyna sys is 10spd that mech is not.

if you have to have that mech you will need a new drive train.

See the FAQs.

Just to clarify i have a 9 speed bike not 10 speed...

I just heard about the Dyna sys and shifter to mech compatibility so wanted to check if it affect me, from what you saying Dyna sys only affects 10 speed bikes ?

So seems i dont need to get new shifters for my rockhopper just stick the new mech on and sorted:)
