No, Shimano uses a 2:1 ratio. The only way you can use it is if you use something like Jtek's Shiftmate. Rene wrote: > Hi guys, > > A technical question here. Can I use the SRAM X7 rear derailleur with > an 8-speed or 9-speed Shimano shifter? The SRAM X7 has a 1:1 ratio. > > Thank you very much.

: [RBW] Re: SRAM X7 rear derailleur I recently bought a Shimano LX rear derailer for $25 from Blue Sky. I know that Performance was advertising them for $35 two days ago-- they may still have them. Not exactly your LBS but sometimes it is necessary. It is possible to get a good deal. Qbike.com

We tried running a left side Shimano bar-end (friction only) with a SRAM rear derailleur on a 9s cassette. It wasn't able to hit all 9 gears. The same shifter worked fine when we switched to a Shimano derailleur. On Jun 23, 6:51 pm, relistan wrote: > Are you indexing?  Or do you mean in friction
