[RBW] Re: Component Question
Ahh... Steve is the only one who correctly guessed that SamuelJames (the OP) was asking about wheels! It looks like everyone else (including me) thought "XTR = derailleurs." I'd put an XTR derailleur on anything.

Thanks for the feedback...I will probably buy a new wheel set which will be 700c since it's a 62.

Shimano road and MTB are interchangeable except the hub spacing thing. Not so with SRAM. And their some Campy-Shimano marriages that work without any fancy added parts, like Campy 10spd shifters with Shimano 8 speed cassettes. ~mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Component Question
If the Yves is basically a Sam with a mixte-tube, then you should have no problem. Aside from durability, I think MTB drivetrains are mainly about having enough chain wrap capacity to use a really small stump-puller front ring. The ONLY thing I can think of is some front deraillers have a very deep inner part of the cage that can be tricky to set up with the Sugino triple cranks and their seat tube / chainstay geometry. I had a Shimano LX that I couldn't get to work on my Sam. The FD's that Riv sells - the IRD and Campy - work fine. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Can't see why not. Right now, there's a 20+ year old Deore on my Atlantis that was OEM on a 7 speed MTB. The Atlantis came with long cage MTB derailer, & is 8 speed. The original one just got kinda sloppy & loose after 8 years. Run whut yu brung. dougP On Jul 19, 1:54 pm, SamuelJames wrote: > Can you use Shimano Deore or XTR on a road bike?
