The main thing is, SRAM REAR derailleurs will only work with SRAM REAR shifters, and vice versa. You can never use SRAM with Shimano in the back. It doesn't matter in the front.
340276
It will fit the bike for sure. Main thing is, if you didn't have a long cage before, the chain you have on might not be long enough. If you're replacing the chain tho, just remove a few links less.

The Trek Marlin comes (and has come) stock with a long cage derailleur (the X4)... their website shows this.To clarify, the X4 is a long cage derailleur and does not come in a short cage model.

The bike shop snobs will tell you nothing will work unless you get it from them. If you have a fixed hanger on your bike it will work on a mountain bike or hybrid. As long as you you have 7 or 8 speeds

It is for 8 or 9 speeds-with the long cage you dont have to take off too many chain links-works perfectly on my 8 speed drivetrain

I have bought 2 sets of these awesome brakes and they have worked on both of my bikes (Giants). i don't see why they wouldn't work on your Trek 8.4 DS. just know that the brake levers are on opposite sides not the regular U.S. standards. hope everything works out well.

I have this on my Trek 7.2 fx works fine I have the 48/36/26 since I'm mostly ride on flats not a lot of uphills n I don't carry any load on the bike. The 42/32/22 is good if u carry a lot of load on the bike. Hope this helps.

Find out what the BCD (Bolt Center Diameter) of the XT crank is - and then compare that with the RaceFace, which is 104mm. If it's the same, done. If not, it may not fit or alternatively you'll need to pick up some type of spacers.

I couldn't tell you if you bike will fit on the carrier. I can tell you that my bike is 62cm bike and the wheels on the ground are approximately 42 inches apart where the wheel touches the ground and this carrier handles my bike just fine. I too have 700c tires but not the mountain bike variety. I do think there is enough adjustment in the wheel receiver that your wheel will set in them just fine. I have a couple of bike carriers and use this one the most because the bike rest on the wheels and tires rather than hangs from the frame--and when purchased was really reasonably priced. I'm sure if you get one you will like it as well....Good Luck! I couldn't tell you if you bike will fit on the carrier.

Sorry, but this question is beyond my limited knowledge. I can tell you that I paired it with a 11-34 cassette, and it is not quite up to the worse case small-small chain ring combination (my chain goes slack, but I never use this). That may be me, with too long a chain? Anyway, next time I would choose a long cage, not this medium cage, just to be sure. Amazon did not or does not offer the long version.

I'm using my 12-30 with an Ultegra short cage, and it works just fine, this despite the fact that when I originally set it up the opinions expressed at the time said it would not work. I believe even Shimano had a company opinion that it was not appropriate to run that combo. That said, you are still at the mercy of "try it and see if it works." If it were me, I'd take the chance, but you have to make the final call. As in my previous answers about this set-up, I'd remind you to not give up if it seems it won't work initially. Chain length is critical in being able to keep the idler pulley from contacting the 30 tooth cog, and I think I may have messed with the stop screw as well. I wish you the best of luck!

Yes, the SRAM instructions are typically very good. They aren't written as-if you're a bicycle mechanic. Some general knowledge is necessary to understand the terms but overall you should be OK with the adjustment. Actually, they usually require very little adjustment.

Hi John.I've have this pair on my full suspension mtb. They lasted me a bit then broke off. Rear will break off first then front.For the front fender, I had issues having it stay in tight so I did some modifications by putting a rubber band to get a better grip to stay in.My advise to you is, buy the DeFender™ XC1/XC11 Set, they come in 26 and 29 inch depending on your wheel size. Find them cheap on ebay! Got mine there. They look much better, more durable, and newest model from Topeak. Yours is a hardtail so you'll be fine. More of a problem with full suspension bikes when it comes to rear fenders but there are special ones made for FS MTB like the mudhugger. Hi John.I've have this pair on my full suspension mtb.

Yes. It will work fine. The front deraillure is no problem. You can run whatever front deraillure you want. For example, on my sons bike we have x4 shifters with a shimano slx front deraillure and a SRAM x5 rear deraillure. Their X... lineup components are all interchangeable. You just need to make sure you run SRAM shifters with SRAM rear deraillures. The front deraillure can be whatever you want. Even their road and mountain bike stuff works together. My bike is s mix of SRAM mountain bike (x9) and road bike (rival) components and I have no issues.

Jess, sorry this took so long!! Ken is right, I also used Kenda 700X 35/43 Schrader Long Valves. Had to go to an actual bike shop that was an authorized Schwinn dealer. Normal stores that carry Schwinn products will NOT have these tubes, they are too 'special'. Oh, when I went to the bike shop, just brought the front tire with me and the gentlemen found what I needed in seconds. Good luck!!

Louis - please see my full review. There are some specs there that might help determine if this will work for your bike. Happy riding!

Yes, with a little work..... The 8/9/10 cassette is 4.5mm wider then the 7speed, so the 7speed will be too short (this wheel has a freewheel designed for the 8/9/10 cassette. Luckily there are spacers available for a couple of bucks...Search for 7 speed spacer and you should find one easily. The only caveat I will warn about is that if your cassette is not Shimano/SRAM then you may run into issues there too. But then a 7 speed cassette is easily found for $15-20 and do not forget that you will need appropriate tools for the switch (or go to your local Bike Shop). Yes, with a little work.....

I have a 2011 4 runner and I bought the cross bars you are looking at. I have a Rola soft side carrier that is 57 inches long and it fits with no problem. I suppose if you bought one of the extra long Thule carriers, you might encounter a problem but your carrier will fit to the bars at a certain distance apart. The "extended" end will be toward the front. For sure, if you are trying to carry a long surf board or something, you will have a problem but your rear fin should be your "starting point" and simply extend your load forward. The other posters are correct in that the fin and the top of the crossbars are the same height. I have a 2011 4 runner and I bought the cross bars you are looking at.

Hi, that model of Trek probably was offered with more than one crank set. You need to measure the "BCD" or bolt circle diameter. That is the distance between the bolts that would hold on the largest chain ring. 104 BCD is very common.

You need two pieces of information to determine whether this Shimano gear cluster will work on your bike. First question: is the rear gear cluster on your bike a freewheel or a cassette? Look here (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/free-k7.html) to help you determine. I've looked at the Huffy mtn bike owners manual (http://www.huffybikes.com/pdf/ownersmanuals/7f448214-b108-4c48-93eb-972b6c9e4a17.pdf) and page 36 would suggest your bike has a freewheel. The Shimano you are asking about is a freewheel type gear cluster, so if you answer yes to the first question, then on to the second question. Second question: will the Shimano gear cluster fit on your bike? I am talking about the width of the gear cluster; measured from smallest gear to largest if you are looking at it from edge on. According to Amazon's listing, the Shimano is 1.7". Measure your existing cluster and then decide. Look at this (http://sheldonbrown.com/harris/freewheels.html#6) information to help you. Finally, if you decide to go for it, you will probably want to purchase a freewheel tool to help remove the old and install the new. You may also need to know how to readjust your rear derailleur (described in the owner's manual) if the gear clusters are somewhat different in spacing and width. Good luck

It's probably too wide, but might just barely fit that space. I have a Suzuki SV650S, and resolved the problem by disassembling the handlebar mount (eliminating the u-clamp)and drilling 2 holes thru the aluminum plate which houses the ignition switch and spans the two forks. I then attached the mount to the plate using two 1.5" screws, lock washers and nuts. Works great, and takes up less space. Did the same thing on a friend's GSXR600. Mount it as far left or right on the plate as possible, so as not to block the gauges. Measure twice, drill once. :)
