So what would you do here...
So I am building 2 bikes, a long travel all mountain bike and my old zaskar. I have a new set of 2011 X9 shifters and short cage rear der, and some 2005/06 XTR shifters with a med cage XT rear der well used.
My original thought was to run the new X9 group on the AM bike, since it will be ridden the most and a new drivetrain would be most appreciated. But the fact that its a short rear cage has me worried about breaking stuff. Are these unfounded concerns?
