So I killed my X0 short cage and want a new derailer, being that the X0 is quite a bit more money that the force I would like to try the force. Alot of people have been running the road derailers with shimano stuff, but I want to stick with sram and get a super short cage. Can it be done?

How the f*ck would anyone know if a derailleur available only to road teams in a limited fashion can be used on your POS?

Why don't you call the head mechanic for Sierra-Nevada and ask him?

NO, it won't work with the mountain shifters. Their roady and mountain shifters pull different amounts of cable.

What he said.

You can't do it.

The Force gruppo doesn't have the same 1:1 actuation that the mountain stuff has, but it's meant to run on a 10 speed casette rather than a 9. I think that there is some chance it could work-- I bet you that the different cable pull rate is because of the different number of cogs, not a different design.

don't worry. i will ask for you at in-a-bike.

btw, the word from Greg Herbold is they are not compatible.
