Have decided to change my (stock) Shimano Acera rear deraillieur to SRAM X-7 & have bought the appropriate trigger shifter also.

The question is - will my current shimano chain be compatible with the new set up ?

yep

yep

yep

NO




































actually,



yep

Ta !

May be worth looking at the wear on chain and cassette while you're having an overhaul - it would be a shame to have the spangly new shifters spoilt by other bits!




In other news

yep

And you'll be accidentally changing gear on every bumpy descent! Used SRAM for the first time on the 2412, every time I hit some fun stuff and went to adjust my grip I was knocking the shifter and firing through 3 or 4 gears, a tad frustrating

Is that gripshift? IMO the damn stuff should be confined to Halfords bikes!

i have X-O gripshifters on my Marin and they are sooo good no accidental shifting whatsover just need to know how to use them properly.

I can't say I've tried the X-0 stuff, but I still don't like the idea at all...

I use X.0 Grip Shift on my race bike and I think it's awesome, I've never shifted accidentally. I have X.0 triggers on my Titus, and I constantly knock those by accident. However they do shift better, so it's swings and roundabouts!

splitter!!

i too knock my sram attacks, pain in't arse! (well, knee)

I do knock the smaller paddle on SRAM shifters, but tbh its a small price to pay for being able to make a full compliment of shifts with the brakes fully covered. I hated my shimano shifter in the Alps, I wanted to be holding onto something whilst I was shifting!!!
