Im currently replacing my drivetrain on my Giant XTC 3 2011 and i think i might have accidentally bought the wrong wheels, ive got the Shimano XT Shadow 9sp Rear Mech, but i bought Shimano XT m773 wheels, will these work or is it better to get a refund?

Thanks in advance.

    May have less float in the top wheel so may not work optimally with a 9 spd setup as dyna-sys mechs supposidly do not require the same amount of float.

    Deores will work fine. Hell, the ones you have may work fine.
