Has anyone tried the 12-36 with Apex medium lenght rear derailleur? I know it only supports 32 teeth but I'm wondering if there is any room. Thanks!

If you manage to pull it off, I don't recommend it. There is nothing wrong with a long rear deraileur. A good XT or XTR, if not fallen on will last forever.

It sounds like you might have a medium cage rear derailleur. I have a medium cage Ultegra on another bike. I think a maximum size of 30T for the rear cassette is possible with this length of rear derailleur. You'd need a "long" rear derailleur to use anything beyond 30T. (On a second bike, I have a SRAM setup with a SRAM long cage derailleur and it works great.)

It would not, per the specifications. You would need a rear derailleur with a capacity of at least 40 for what you seek. The RD-6700 GS has a capacity of 39T, might have to use an MTB RD to get what you are looking for.The Shimano RD-5600 GS (long cage) has a capacity of 37T. Your current combination of compact chain-rings (50-34= 16) plus PG 1070 (32-11= 21) is up to the RD-5600 GS's capacity (16+21= 37).You can try it, but it would be much beyond the design specifications.

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.

if your bike is 7 vel. you're not going to have any kind of problem. just mount your freewheel, and ready to run. if maybe a little adjustment with small screws having the deraileur you can fix is needed. I hope you solve Manny

John,All I can tell you is that I have a 92 Ultra and they did not lower mine. The ride is just a little tighter than the stock air shocks, but running into the curves and over beautiful Micigan Roads ( total sarcasm). They handle and ride GREAT!!

Katie, my tomasso road bike came with a 12-25 rear cassette which for most riders sort of standard. My problem with it is due to the amount of climbs in this area. I needed something easier on my knees as I'm pushing 50. I bought the 11-30 and it's much easier when I'm going uphill without pushing the red zone on my fitness pal. I probably would like the 11-32 but didn't want to have to change out on my rear derailer. So in summary the smaller gears are for in shape healthy young riders who can mash bigger gears. The 11-30 allowed me to gain more speed downhill and two gears extra on the steep parts which helps my knees and vox o2.

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.

I'm running the stock receiver in my team associated SC10 with no issues. I'm also running a 87t spur gear with a 16t pinion gear. I suggest using a 2s lipo. Anything bigger and the truck gets out of control. I still am hitting over 50km. Perfect for dirt track racing. I hope that this helps. CHEERS!!!

I replaced a 6 degree 120 mm stem with it. The old stem was long low and aggressive. The Origin8 stem is much kinder to the neck and upper back. I plan to get another one for my other mountain bike.

13 - 15 - 17 - 20 - 24 - 29 - 34 Teeth. Personally, I think this is too wide a range and went with 14 - 32T which has 14 - 16 - 18 - 21 - 24 - 28 - 32 and does not have quite as big a jump between the gears.

I put that crankset on my hybrid which was set up for a 48. Using a 48 on your bike will require moving your front derailler up some and it is possible that your rear derailler won't have the capacity ( length of the derailler arm) for the larger gear. However it possible to change the ring gears on most crank sets and you could use your old 42 gear. I'm not sure about this but 8 speed set ups might not have compatible gear teeth with 9 speed crank sets.

I believe the photo is errant. What I received was a 7 speed. You definitely don't want to substitute an 8 speed on a 7 speed application. You'd have too much slack in the shifter cable (in position 8 on shifter) even if you adjusted the deraileur stops to avoid the chain falling off, and an annoying dead spot gathering up that slack when shifting back into the lower gears.

I can't completely answer your question. I have a Tiagra derailleur and I must say it took some time to adjust so that the 28 didn't hit the derailleur. But after some adjusting, I'm very happy with the performance.

i don't see why not. the bike's factory default brakes use the side pull system so i see no reason why the sram apex wont work. and for the brake levers, as long as you can find bullhorns that have a large or small enough diameter to fit the levers themselves. luckily, the quill stem on this bike is quite generous in terms of handlebar diameter. but to be sure, check the diameter online. for reference though, the quill fit my 25.4mm diameter bullhorns.

28 isn't much more than 26... it only needs 2 more links of chain. same derailleur should be fine in my opinion (used to work at a bike shop) but if you shift to the LARGE chain ring in front and the 28 cog in back (a gear you should NOT be using anyway due to extreme chain angle) then you may find your chain is too short and the deraileur arm on bottom will be pulled really far forward. When you change cogs, if your old chain is really worn (1000's of miles riding), it's a good idea to get a new chain too, and a new chain would be sufficiently long. you'll need a chain tool to cut it to length though (again make it just a little longer than your old chain).

Cassettes and freewheels have the same spacing, you can even use other freewheel brands. I think there's a small difference between As long as you derailer is Shimano compatible, Suntour derailers don't move the same width for each "click" cable pull.
