Hi all,
I have a mid 90's era Giant mountain bike that has served me well and at
this point I see no reason to replace it. However, yesterday the rear
derailleur gave up the ghost and I need to replace it. The bike is a 7
speed Shimano setup and had predominantly 400GS gear on it (including 3 ring
Bio-pace cranks!!).
Over time I have upgraded the shifters and brakes to STX-RC and they a
working well.
I have tried to source a STX-RC 7 speed rear derailleur, preferably new,
with no luck. Can any one advise if any other newer parts are likely to
operate with my 7 speed setup? I believe the newer 8 and 9 speed setups use
a thinner chain??
Thanks in advance.
