|   Dura Ace for the rear of an MTB..... | 10kman
Apr 11, 2003 11:17 AM | | Okay, project new bike is well underway. I am thinking of going with Attack shifters, with a Dura Ace rear (short cage). I'm using a roadie cassette in the back, without a big ring up front, so the short cage will be fine.
Anyone have weights for the attack shifters, shortie style, along with a dura ace rear der, short cage? are the rockets lighter??
can't get to weightweenie site, it's timing out right now......
Thanks,

get also a DA 12-27 cassette: 180g

| how about the durability compared to XTR.... | noslogan

thanks |
| no problem.... | nino
Apr 11, 2003 10:09 PM | | mine is 3 years old now and got lots of muddy riding over here in switzerland.the mech is shorter so less leverage that can cause miss-shifts and also less likely to get hooked in tress etc. and in case of a crash.as said it`s XTR quality at lighter weight.it takes max. 27 teeth on the cassette though!
so you need strong legs or you can compensate that higher low gear with a 20t granny ring up front.that`s what i did.that way the lowest gear is 20/27 which is equal to 22/30.for me that`s low enough.
the 20t granny (-5g) and short DA derailleur also allows for a shorter chain...-20g. |

Apr 12, 2003 4:05 PM | | how about the gearing compared to 24/32?
thanks |
| 24/32=20/26.6(round up to 27)& 24/32=22/29.3(round dn to 29).nm | Colorider

| dura-ace compatibility question | gakre
Apr 12, 2003 9:26 PM | | would i be able to run a dura-ace rear der. with a 20-30-42 and 11-30 combo? |

Apr 13, 2003 3:00 AM | | no-the short cage doesn`t take 30t on the cassette.maybe 28t ?
anyway- with a 20t up front a 27t on the cassette should be low enough. |
