Hello friends
I am looking at building a budget drivetrain and rather than trying to get some scum to send me their roached out drivetrain, I was considering using my brand NOS XTR 8 speed shifters with a 10 speed FD lying in a box and an 11-32 XTR ti cassette I also have lying in a box. The problem is I have no derailleur and really don't want to pay for one that doesn't have a clutch. Looks like there are two options on the market now, the box 8 speed and a sunrace RDM900 9 speed. Box expressly says their cable pull is different than other 8 speed setups, and the sunrace is technically a 9 speed setup but I remember using 9 speed derailleurs with 8 speed setups in the past. Are any of these setups compatibly with my shifter and cassette?
The sunrace looks really nice.
