Ok, I’ve been looking at 10 speed stuff and decided that it’s going to be a bit more than I want to spend on this right now - i’d need mech, shifter, cassette, chain. I briefly considered buying a 9 speed setup as I’ve got a 9spd cassette and chain I could use - I know I’d want to then upgrade it later though SO....
I did some UingTFingS and worked out a plan: 10 speed shimano clutch mech, 9 speed SRAM shifter, my existing cassette and chain. Then when I want to upgrade to 10speed later I’ve not wasted much £ on 9 speed junk, plus I still get a clutch mech either way.
That’s a pretty convoluted way of saving about £30 but there we go.
