Evening all.
I am in the process of building myself a new bike (once all the parts arrive), this one is going to have gears!!
I have a shimano 105 groupset, it's a 9sp double, so 18 gears in all... don't know what i'm going to do with them all!
I also have a 10sp cassette, can I just take off one of the sprockets from the 10sp cassette and use it with the 9sp shifters? or is it, as I suspect, a bit more complex than that?
I presume that the 9sp shifters move the deraillieur (sp?) a larger distance on each shift than the 10sp one would, so as to cover fewer cogs in the same distance.
Would this mean I need to get some different size spacers? or should I just be done with it and buy myself a 9sp cassette and stop faffing about?. Thanks
