will sram x.4 work with a 6 speed cassette and 6 speed shifter?

I should revise my answer. I highly doubt it would work correctly.However, if it's all you can find it might be worth trying. You can then adjust the high adjustment screw way in to try and prevent shifting off your cassette

Possibly. If your shifter has a "friction" mode, it will work with a 6 speed freewheel. In order to answer in more detail, we would need to know the brand, as suntour and shimano had different amounts of pull.

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.

The rear cassette or freewheel will have seven gears. Then you are ok. However it sounds like you have 8 gears in the rear so you will need one with one more shift line.

I believe it will. All Shimano (and Sram) hubs and cassettes use the same groove pattern.

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

I put a 7 speed freewheel on this wheel and it works great. 6 will work too. I am assuming you have the old 27 inch, 126mm hub config like most road bikes of the 1970s and 1980s.

I don't see any reason why it won't work as long as you keep the same number of gears. In your case make sure you choose a 10 speed cassette. You might have to shorten the chain if you go down several teeth in gearing such as a 11-24 tooth cassette. Although it may work using the same chain length as you currently have.

I've used 15 speed (5 cogs) and 18 speed (6 cogs) free wheels and not cassettes on this wheel. I really don't know how your 6 speed (or does the cassette have 6 cogs) cassette would work. Sorry I could not be of more help.

The left shifter is two speed friction, I haven't run a triple with it but you may be able to rig it; the right shifter is 7 speed indexed.

why would you want a 7 speed mega range freewheel on a 6 speed bike?the 7th oversized mega cog wont even be accesable with 6 speed shifters and derailleur,why not get a 6 speed mega freewheel(shimano MF-TZ20 tourney 14-34 tooth 6 speed),make sure your shifters and derailleur are mega compatable!!!!!!!

NO! No, it will not work. The SRAM shifters only work with SRAM rear derailieurs, because the ratio is 1:1 vs Shimano 2:1. The front derailieurs for both systems are interchangeable as they use the same ratio.

It will accept any standard cassette, a six speed cassette will be a bit narrower than an standard 8 speed but there should be shims to take up the space. The rims are nice and a lot lighter than the ones that came on my bike. I also fitted them with big apple tires, which are belted and puncture resistant and the ride is nothing short of amazing. I think the wheels are a good value.

I have used this chain with a SRAM PG 1070 12-25 cassette with no problems. I have also used the chain with a Shimano Ultegra 12-25 cassette with no problems.

So the distance between a 5, 6, and 7 speed freewheel/cassette is different. The less cogs, the more distance. Most likely this will not work well with a 5 speed indexed freewheel. There are 5 speed shift mechanisms out there, just search up for them.

So long as the derailleur is properly adjusted, yes it should work. The indexing is in the shifters themselves, not in the derailleur. This assumes you are using either a Shimano or a SRAM rear cassette. You may experience issues with a Campagnolo cassette.

My set up: sram red compact crank and sram 1050 12-32 cassette...works fine, no issues, has been on my bike for over a year...though I did not determine the correct chain length, I had my LBS do it. : )

This is a Freewheel. It mounts onto a rear hub with threads. I am not familiar with cassettes but I don't think this will work. I don't have the bike with me at home to measure but I believe it is wider than a 5 speed. The bike I used it on is a Vitus with 126mm rear spacing that I upgraded from a 6 speed to a 7 speed with 7 speed index shifters and the frame with luck had enough clearence. I hope some information will be helpful with your upgrade. Good luck!
