Why not recommended for 10 speed derailleurs?
904632
Hello Tyler, Amazon asked if I would respond to your inquiry regarding compatibility of the OT-SP40 shift cables. I installed the shift cables on a 2011 shimano ultegra 10 speed drive train with a compact crank set. As I stated in the review the cables,housing and included hardware work well and the shifting is actually a bit crisper than the original equipment. As to why they do not recommend these cables for 10 speed derailleurs is a mystery to me. I do change the cables annually so a cable set that's less than seven dollars in price may lack some longevity but to me that is not a concern. That being said you may want to contact the seller regarding the compatibility of your drive train and the SP40 Cables. Hope this response helped. Ride Safe, Steve

This is a 10 speed derailleur and will only work with that kind of setup. In order to use it you will have to update your shifters, cassette and even your front derailleur.

Can't answer from experience but doubt it since 9 and 10 speed chains are different.

Yes it will. The pull ratio is not 1:1-- this has the same ratio as all older Shimano ders. The only problem you might have is if you run a slightly wider chain through it. I don't think it will jam up or anything crazy like that, but you might get a little rubbing on the cage as the chain deflection increases (i.e. while you're cross chained). Just run a 9-speed chain and you'll be completely okay. Again, not that the 8-speed chain is going to lead to a catastrophe. Shimano did change their pull ratio when they moved their mountain drive trains to 10-speed. This is a little annoying, but at least there are more modern 9-speed options available (10-speed road ders will still work on lower-speed mountain drivetrains, though. I'm running a 10-speed 105 der on a 7 speed drive train with an indexed shifter :) ).

Since the bar end shifters are intended for 8-speed rear cassette you will need to find a compatable derailleur. I checked online and most everything is 9-10-or11 speed now. In the past I have had both Dura-Ace and Ultegra derailleurs by Shimano that worked great but they were 8-speed systems ant that was about 15 years ago. Not sure if the 10 or 9 speed will work or not. I would check with a good bike mechanic before buying just to be safe. I bought and older Specialized Warrior Sport that happened to have an 8-speed rear cassette (not sure of the brand of the derailleur) and I installed the bar end shifters and they work great and have made riding fun again.

Most if not all SRAM 10 speed are compatible with all (SRAM) groups. Key is not to mix brands.

yes .you can even use index shifting if you like ----shimano spacing is the same for 6/7/8gears drives cassette or frewheel....... happy rides.

If there is a spacer on your cassette, meaning it takes up the room that an additional gear would take, then simply take that off and you can fit 8 speeds, if not, you'd be better off buying a new wheel. do bear in mind that the more you spend on a wheel, the less your going to need to true/maintain it!

Hi! I doubt it could even handle 9 speed; SHIMANO gear is dialed in tight these days. It can definitely use XTR 10 speed Chain quite well however as I have and a recommended Upgrade As is the XTR/DURA ACE level bottom bracket and cable sets. Stick with the spec's! Happy Trails

Honestly I wouldn't spend a penny on this. Had its week and it broke on me. No hard riding either only just casual. If ur looking for a good derailleur, I'd start at shimano 105. My road bike has 105 competes and I have not had a problem at all

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

The 3 speed had an adjuster. The 7 speed adjuster should be on your bikes rear derailer.

Did some quick Googling and it looks like the Shimano 10 Speed Dynasys components are not compatible with any other style/brands including Ultegra. They used to be but not any more. Just basing this off of research.

Any Shimano / microshift / sunnrace rear derailleur will be controlled by this shifter. If derailleur description says 7/8 or even 9 speed it will work. The "speed of derailleur" is really its range of movement, ie how many cogs wide it can span. 6/7/8 all use the same chain because spacing is the same. When I had mounted these A050 thumb / paddle shifters on my sons 8 spd roadbike, we could only use 7 cogs, so we adjusted High or Low limit screw to exclude top or bottom cog. If u have flatbar these are a great choice. If u have road style drop handlebars, consider the related Shimano A070 Brake Lever Shifters.

I it's a 10 speed chain, it will work. To be sure you can count the links on your present chain and compare that number to the links on the new chain. If you have too many links you can always remove some. But yes, a ten speed chain will work with that cassette.

I use them on my 105 10 speed derailleur. There is a compatibility chart shimano put out. Bolt set here...

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).
