XTR with Dura Ace 10-speed

[Terry Morse]

My buddy is thinking of mounting an XTR rear derailleur
and cassette on his Trek Madone for an upcoming big
climbing race.

I know this is not a problem with Dura Ace 9-speed, but what
about 10-speed? Any incompatibilities?

no problem. they all use the same geometry and the same
cable distance to shift a gear (except older Dura Ace 8
speed or less)

The derailer will be fine but if he is planning to use DURA ACE 10 speed shifter with a 9 speed cassette it won't have good shifting.
The 10 speed shifter indexes 3.95 mm but the 9 speed cassette is spaced a 4.34 mm.

Also, if he is using DURA ACE 10 speed hub, only DURA ACE 10 speed cassettes will fit.
If he is using Shimano 9 speed hub any Shimano HG cassette will fit.

I suspect his Madone comes with a 10-speed hub. So I guess
he's looking at a new wheel, cassette, derailleur, AND rear
shifter. Probably not worth the trouble.

Thanks for the help.

Maybe not; Bontrager wheels I've seen fit both 9 and 10s.

Will not work with a 9s cogset...shifters will shift DA 10s
spacing only..the rear der isn't the problem, the cogset
spacing is...12-27 10s is the biggest one that'll work.
