I recently bought a cheap and old (2000s?) GT avalanche 1.0 for my teenage son and have been getting it roadworthy for him. I changed the cables, tyres, pads etc. but for the life of me I could not get the gears to index properly. Then last night I noticed it has a 9 speed cassette but only a 7 speed shifter! So the question I have is, do I :-
1. Fit a 9 speed shifter
2. Fit a seven speed cassette
3. Leave it and just put up with a not being able to select all 9 gears and a small amount of chain rub at the front?
I understand the current chain is probably ok as that would be 7-9 speed anyway. My instinct says get a new cassette and chain anyway, but just thought I would put it out the hive mind.
