I’m after a 9-speed rear mech with clutch that can deal with a 40/42T cassette. Shimano/SRAM considered.

Also looking for appropriate shifter for this setup.

Many thanks!

I thought clutch mechs only came in with 10spd?

I've heard this works but have had no personal experience so can't vouch for it:

...as a result, you can use any SRAM 9 speed shifter with a Shimano 10 speed rear derailleur and it will work perfectly with a 9 speed rear cassette.

Thanks for the tip; 10-speed bits will do if a cassette will fit into the Deore 510 135mm rear hub I have.

I’ve done this and it worked perfectly

Any SRAM exact actuation mech will work with an exact actuation shifter and matching cassette. Alternatively just leave off the smallest gear if a 10 speed cassette doesn't fit.

You mean leave off the biggest gear right 😁

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
