Is this compatible with 9 speed systems? or is it different actuation? (I need 1:1) they don't seem to make 9 speed clutched derailleurs.

I would not expect it to work for 9 speed. I have found that the clutched version can be temperamental. Every now an then it behaves odd and chain slips on the front ring. I don't see any benefit from the clutch version. Maybe I don't have it set correctly. If I slacken it of then it will be just like a non clutched version.

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.

It will work with Shimano 3x7 front derail. Definitely index shift. I have this shifter and it works As good as more expensive models.

Yes it will work. If you change to a 9 or 10 speed you would need derailleur.

if you have a 7 speed rear cand a 3 speed at the pedal this will work. I don't know anything and it was easy. Down load the instructions on adjusting the gears. It's like canything else,3 hours the vfirst time and 1 hour evetry time after that. it's easy and fun. save bucks too..good luck.619-540-7766/paul

The only real difference between a 10-speed crankset and a 9 is the 10 has the middle and inner chain rings moved over very slightly to the right to make them work smoother with the narrower chains. In practice if you are using an older 9-speed crank with a 10-speed cassette/chain you should notice very little problems unless you are out of sequence (meaning you are shifting down in the back a few times before you shift down in the front,etc, if you are not sure what I am talking about take some time to look it up because you can very badly impact your cassette/chain/crank life when using the wrong gear combinations). Might not be perfect but it should almost definitely work.

I use this on an 8 speed chain set up. but I think it is 9 speed. I do not think it will work with a 10. I have mixed and matched parts for years. I think a 10 speed chain will ride between the cogs when you shift and give you a lot of trouble. the FD will also not be the correct geometry as well. Ben their -done that. I would go to the forum at http://www.mtbr.com/ and ask if a 9 speed crank work well with 10 speed chain and FD. good luck getting a 10 speed triple cheap.

I have attempted to use a 10 speed cassette but no luck only a nine has worked for me....

NO! Absolutely not! This is a SRAM 1:1 pull ratio shifter that works with SRAM 1:1 ratio rear derailleurs NOT SHIMANO!!!!! It will work with a SRAM rear derailleur & a shimano cassette but NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. Period.

The short answer is, yes. Shimano spacing is different for 6-11 speed cassettes, but cable pull ratio is the same for 6-9 speed. If you want indexing to work, you can only use an 8 speed cassette along with any 6-9 speed derailleur (except 8 speed Dura Ace derailleurs. This is info from my LBS and Sheldon Brown.) That said, in friction mode, you can use ANY brand or model derailleur set, because you stop the shifter when it engages the desired cog, not the other way around. It takes some fishing to get used to it, but after a while you will find each ratio as easily as if they were indexed using your own muscle memory. If you happen to find an old Positron or AX rear derailleur, you could conceivably have 5 speed indexing, because in those models the index feature was in the derailleur rather than in the shifter. Some other models for other people reading this: The model you need for Suntour indexing is the 6 speed Accushift "barcon" For all 7 speed Shimano, use the SL-BS50* For 8 speed Dura Ace, use the SL-BS50-8* or SL-BS77 For all 9 speed Shimano, use the SL-BS77 For all 10 speed Shimano, use the SL-BS79 *These frequently are sold NOS but ship in the wrong packaging so inspect these carefully before mounting to make sure you have the correct ones. The shift lever model is usually embossed on the rubber boot. In fact, the SL-BS64 kit usually ships in an SL-BS50 box, but don't be alarmed.

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.

It depends on your chain, the brand and and how old that 7 speed cassette is. The width of chains have changed over time and just installing new gears can be problematic as a consequence of both the change in chain link sizes as well as the consequent changes in derailleurs. Hard to say. It will probably work in a pinch but the only way to be sure that your entire drivetrain works in harmony, you kinda need a complete set (cassette, chain, chainrings and sometimes even derailleurs and shifters if you're changing component generations).

It will work and as long as it is a chain of the same width (speed) then you shouldn't notice it in terms of smoothness when shifting or pedalling. I have used these on both SRAM and Shimano chains. It will also work in a pinch for chains of other speeds (since these links are wider than 9/10speed chains) but you would notice it in the pedal stroke and while shifting.

Hi , this model is designed for 10 speed but somebody told me that could work on a 9 speed , you should better ask your mechanic.

Yes I have a 90's Peugeot with stock black paint and orange, yellow,stripes Shimano works smoothly. If your version came with a nylon simplex rear "D" it could snap in half over time.Install shimano, and get the performance you are looking for. I changed to one chain wheel on front crank and removed front shifting junk. I have no repeated gear ratios and fuctional simplicity as a result. The rear wheel has a 6 cog freewheel. Ask yourself, how many gears do I really need? I have a six speed "P" and shimano performance going on!
1658881
Yes, it will work fine. You'll have one gear shift click that won't do anything for now. The rear derailleur cable adjustment and the high and low limit screws on the rear derailleur will determine whether your "dead" click is either a high gear or a low gear. It will work fine for a 7 gear Shimano based rear sprocket.

Quite certain the answer is Yes. 7 speed twist with a 7 speed derailleur. Etc, Etc.
