Hi All
My son's 8 speed mech has had it, so going to get a Shimano Deore 9 speed which I have been told will work with 8 speed as well.
How much difference is there between 8 & 9 speed, just thinking if I'm going to get a 9 speed mech should I convert his bike to 9 speed, it will cost around another £35 ish pounds for the cassette, shifter and I will put a new chain on as well, but if there isn't going to be much difference between 8 & 9 speed ??

An extra cog somewhere in the cogset.
Just fit the mech and let him ride the bike.
Or you are paying for shifters (brakes?) chain,cassette, cables for not much."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Cheers Nick.
That sounds the sort of advise I was looking for
