Hi, Will there be any chainstay contact with this derailleur?

I have not had any problem with this machine hitting my chain stay and I am running full suspension the guide spring is pretty strong.

Do you mean chain contact with the chainstay? In that case adjust the chain one less link.. If you mean the mech jockey wheel is touching in the lowest gear, then add links.

This is a 10 speed derailleur and will only work with that kind of setup. In order to use it you will have to update your shifters, cassette and even your front derailleur.

you can probably use the same derailer and just adjust it for the different size, as far as the chain sizes and stuff, I know almost enough to be dangerous when it comes to bike building and repairing, The way I figure it though, your current chain should be right about the correct size for the changes you are looking at making. As the other person responded make sure this will work for your hub, if you have a freehub this will work (you also need the tool to take the keeper off of the hub) if you do not, you would need a freewheel cassette. The difference is the free hub has the ratcheting mechanism in the hub and the freewheel has it in the casssette and the cassette is removed from the hub. I didn't realize there was a difference before I bought this and ended up getting a new rear wheel to go with my brand new cassette.

If you manage to pull it off, I don't recommend it. There is nothing wrong with a long rear deraileur. A good XT or XTR, if not fallen on will last forever.

As a direct replacement its unlikely you could get it to shift properly the 10 speed dyna sys derailleurs are only designed for use with 10 speed shifters. In my case (9speed) this required a new 10 speed cassette,chain and shifter. 8 speed should be the same unless you have an older thread on style rear hub. To me the clutch on the derailleur makes it worth it and you could lower the cost by using slx instead of xt on some/all of the components.

It all depends on your crank, this is a single speed narrow-wide chainring, no front derailuer needed. The brand of bike does not matter, the crank arm spacing and bike drivetrain are what make it compatible.

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

Same problem here.. haven't messed with it (No time yet) but it looks like the frame is not straight where the derailleur mounts so I'll have to heat and bend that tab.. what a pain. As the bike is, the rear derailleur is awfully close to the rear wheel's spokes and even worse is the overall chain alignment

Sure they will! Just make sure that your derailleur stops are set correctly. Actually, with a little messing around one can fine tune the shifter to give a low-low, and low-setting that will eliminate chain rub. How about that?

You can, the maximum cassette range is an 11-34 on this model and above. The STI shift levers work with this derailleur, however, you might want to consider a derailleur with a barrel adjuster to readjust cable tension, like a Shimano Alivio RD M430-9. If not, you'll have to make manual and precise adjustments by hand. This is a great derailleur for its price, performance, and compatibility.

Have not had any issues with it so far. However I would recommend shifting far prior to getting to the incline as the derailleurs struggle otherwise and you can easily slip the chain.

Not sure about the cassette. Your best bet is to talk to your local bike shop. Make sure your front derailer is compatible with your new crank though.

I am not positive, but if you have a matching chainring set (examine sugino attachment confirguration) you should be fine. You shouldn't need to increase your chain length because it sounds like the largest rings are the same size, and the position of the chain and derailleur should stay the same.

I've done it before without issues. Use a 9 speed chain to reduce the risk of rubbing between chain rings.

You ned to install a tension adjuster on the rear shift cable, somewhere between the shifter and derailer. This can be an inline barrel type, or a cable stop type.

Not sure about using it on a external derailure as I use 3 of these to make up one chain for my trike which has an internal 8 speed rear hub. I checked my bike manufacturer website and called their tech support about it to be sure. Best to consult you bike manufacturer website.

You will not need a new chain if the number of sprockets in the cassette remain the same, across the 11-23 and 11-28That is; if your 11-23 has 10 sprockets or is for a 10 speed, and the 11-28 also has 10 sprockets then there is no need to change the chain. The rear derailleur will compensate.
