I’m looking for some opinions on using an 8 speed shimano shifter with a 9 speed shimano rear derailleur. I haven’t bought the cassette or chain yet. Should I buy an 8 speed cassette and chain or 9 speed (and hope to find a 9 speed matching shifter in the future)?
According to this chart if I route the rear cable in the hubbub style the pull ratio would work 8 speed shifter, 9 speed cassette and derailleur (missing one gear). What would you guys do?
