    Default looking for a rear derailleur

    Does anyone have a 10 speed rear derailleur similar to a SRAM X5 or better for sale?
    Experiencing the world through second hand information isn’t enough. If we want authenticity we have to initiate it. We will never know our full potential unless we push ourselves to find it.

    someone correct me if i'm wrong but i think any derailleur will do. the difference is in the pull of the cable. The type you have lets the cable housing go straight in and the old fashion type needs to have a loop of cable housing. So i think the LX i have will work. you can borrow it if you want. I may have some extra cable housing too.
    I may have to grow old, but I'll never have to grow up.

    Some SRAM stuff is 1:1 actuation ratio. Not compatible with Shimano stuff.

    Shimano 9 and 10 speed rear deraileurs do not interchange.

    The only crossing of sram vs shimano on the rear is sram attack shifter are for shimano rear derailleurs. Beyond that no mixing of shimano and sram can be done for rear derailleurs. Sorry I spend way to much time reading and learning at these hours when i can't sleep

    Everything X4 and above is 1:1 and not compatible with Shimano shifters.

    Cassettes, chains, cranks, and front derailleurs are interchangeable between SRAM and Shimano, so long as they're the same speeds (7, 8, 9, 10 - but not 11).
