9 speed rear mech on 11-46 cassette?
Hi,
Bit of a hack job for this one but hoping for success.
What I’m intending to do is convert my cyclocross bike into a 1 x setup. I’ve got 10 speed 105 shifters and want to use a 9 speed M771 XT rear mech as I believe the cable pull will work. I want to use an 11-46 cassette and want to know if the 9 speed XT mech will clear the 46 tooth with a longer b screw?
Any help would be great.
Cheers.
Tom

Well what is that way? Are you suggesting that every bend on every descent can be barriered over a 180km mountain stage?

Hopefully it'll still be allowed for recreational use.

I'm glad the barrier wasn't damaged. Whew, close one there! \s

that rear mech will do whatever its told to do by the shifter so no problem using a 9spd mech with 10spd shifters.
The large rear cog will be the problem as the top pulley wheel could foul the large cog. Most mechs have a tooth capacity, and that mech just doesnt have the capacity.
you might be able to get it to work, but it shouldnt
