this may be a stupid question
i have a specialized crosstrail hybrid, i want to replace the components as they have seen there life in a unloved bike
i bought ...compatibility seams a complicated thing
im going to replace my rear cassette , but believe my Hub determines what i can fit .. I assume as its a 9 speed shimano
any 9 speed shimano will fit
and any 9 speed Rear derailleur will fit
my other prob is it seams to be a unusual fitting front derailleur . thats a top swing , bottom pull , were the
fixing bracket is lower than the changer and pulls from underneath the bottom bracket .
i was hoping to replace and upgrade this . But seams i can only find a Acera ......and i was hoping to fit Deore XT
I think ive sourced a XT rear cassette and rear derailleur ...just the front im struggling with
Appreciate any help thanks
