Shimano Shifter / Derailleur Compatibility Guide: Intro to Cable Pull Ratios
I've tried to assemble as short of a video as possible while still providing the ground work to understanding why a shifter may or may not be compatible with a derailleur.
There are other considerations to think of besides shifters/deraileurs, like chain width, cassette, derailleur capacity, etc. Those are topics for a later date.
Be mindful. It's a guide, not an absolute certainty. Use your brain, and you'll be fine. Consider everything.

Great video. I tried other explanations from other people, but this was by far the easiest to understand.
These are exactly the type of videos I was looking for. They help me understand the fundamentals. Thank you!
Dear good sir. Thanks for the explanation video, this is what I've been searching for for a while.
This guy is a really good teacher! He breaks everything down so well and comprehensively. Thanks Man. So helpful and your Bottom bracket vid is EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is probably the easiest to understand explaining pull ratios while mix matching drivetrain! Thanks for sharing!
Phenomenal! If only all KZread content was this well presented and informative. Thank you
For Shimano front derailleurs, road and mountain have different cable pull ratios.

@@BenjaminVallejera (My comment had nothing to do with rear derailleurs) But , no. Shimano used the same cable pull ratio for most of it's rear derailleurs from 6 speed up. (Early Dura Ace used different ratio). That is both road and mountain. But then Shimano changed the cable pull ratio on it's mountain rear derailleurs starting at 10 speed. This is just cable pull ratio, mean they will work with the shimano shifters and index correctly. There is also chain capacity, and largest cog. You can use Shimano 105 10spd RD with Shimano 6, 7, 8, 9 speed shifters. They all have the same cable pull ratio. Here is how indexed shifting works: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qoGqppONZNSsYag.html

Hi All, FYI Im running currently - due to crash and death of previous gen RD SLX M670 - SLX M7100 (1x12 model) with 10spd 11-42 cassette and 10spd slx shifter. However, will order - as its cheap as hell - 12spd SLX shifter and Im more than sure it will work flawless - will just leave the smallest gear/click empty by setting cable tension to 3rd from bottom as the lowest gear on my cassette. Still ultimately will upgrade to 11spd 10-50 cassette (sunrace mx8) and will leave only 1 gear/click on shifter "empty". and later when microspline will not be so expensive and more available ( running Bontrager wheelset ) will go to full shimano M7100 12 spd group by adding proper driver and cassette. Cheers
extremely helpful..now I know I can use cheap front derailleur from shimano with any other Shimano shifters
One of the most useful vids on youtube ever. Thanks a lot!
great video im a beginner of fixing up bikes and pairing different shifters with casets so thanks a mil with these kinds of videos
Very informative and very well explained.
Thanks so much for this video. I always encountered so many troubles when I was doing conversions on my bikes. Thanks to you, I can now ensure the compatibily of the different mixing of shifter and derailleurs!!! I don't know if you already have done one, but a video on the groupset Shimano Dura-Ace 7800 would be nice because it is a big revolution in the cycling world (9-10 speeds, 2 pieces cranckset, wierd freewheel... but so beautiful). :-)
You should really do videos more often, they are very informative. They are always Aha! moments for me being an amateur bike mechanic.

Inspired by this and similar vids, I changed the 11-28 for a 11-34 on my Felt CX bike. Used the Road Link and also subbed a 34 tooth chainwheel for the 36. Didn't even need to adjust the chain length. Now I have the 1:1 lowest ratio. The rest is up to me.
That was very good. Thank you for taking the time to make this video and share this information.
This would be useful as part of the curriculum taught at school.
my freaking derailleur broke... i just tightened up a wobbly rear wheel and adjusted the brakes so good that angels were crying at how well they were operating.. and then my rear derailleur BROKE IN HALF... im not complaining.. i got some cheesy bread, fell asleep on a bench, woke up, went to another bench, slept on that for a while, woke up then walked like 3 or four hours back home.. had me a gay old time... true story..
Some youtube videos show combinations working pretty darn good despite the math suggest. 11 speed shifter , 11 speed derailleur works with 10 speed cassette.
Note that after this video came out, Shimano released a TYPE-3 *10-speed* 4700 Tiagra RD and shifters. Thus all road 10-speed RD+shifters are compatible with each other.

Cool video and I like your cheat sheet with all the compatabilties/combos. You may want to consider a part 2 to this video with mismatching vintage index components with other brands and non index components. I've successfully meshed non index/friction Suntour Cyclone and Superbe Pro RDs with shimano 7 and 8 sp index DT shifters and the indexing worked fine, so I assume many old Suntour non index RDs have a 1:1 cable pull ratio. Also I've meshed 1st gen. Suntour 6 sp Accushift shifters with Shimano 7sp RDs with 7 sp FWs, so the pull ration on 6sp Accushift is the same as 7 speed Shimano shifters. You can overclick the 6sp Accushift DT shifters to get into the largest FW cog but sometimes it ghostshifts back into 2nd gear if you hit a big bump in the road. These weird combos can come in handy if you're setting up vintage pre 90's bikes with friction shifting and converting to index shifting brifters/DT shifters/barend/grip shift or rapidfire shifters.
I believe the information regarding front derailleur are inaccurate -- for triple 3x9 Road vs MTB pulling cable ratios are similar but not exactly the same. This means that even after careful setup you have some rub somewhere -- in my case I tried to mount MTB FD to match road STI Shimano shifters, and either leftmost or rightmost chain path caused the rub against FD cage.
@WanderABit

@Yard Sale Dale I wrote about replacing one triple with another triple (it is not doable without converter). And since with triple the rub occurs only on one of the cogs I am not surprised dropping one and going double works.
so IF I'm understanding this correct.. I can take my altus rear derailleur off (7 sp), and slap on a deore (9 sp) and use it with my current shifter and I should be able to set the stops and be GTG? All mtn after all. I'm really looking at upgrading the derailleurs for both my front (a tourney) and a rear (an altus). This seems like it should work? I'd like to go to a twist shifter later from the thumb shifters (I hate the fact that I go up a gear using my thumb and down a gear using index on my right hand, but go up a crank sprocket size with my thumb on left hand and down with index.. they're opposite of eachother). This will probably necessitate swapping out everything in my bars, but as long as I stick with same MFG (shimano) and gear sets (its a 3x7 so I should stick with that) I should be ok?
Excellent video -- this means I can upgrade a claris to a tiagra bit by bit-- great news!

Even tough I have alot experience and I'm already familiar with the inner workings of indexed shifting I must say, this is some of best explaining I've ever seen. Well done sir. I actually came here looking for information on wether the 11 speed shifter on 2*10 drivetrain on the Specialized Chisel was a printing error. It would seem its not.

need your help, i really fcd ! I got a gravel "locked" in Sram Apex... I changed rear derailleur for Deore M6000 (MTB) , the cogs was Sram too, i changed today for a chinese cog, 11-28 10v. Mi shifters are STI Hidraulic Tiagra 10V. When i shift the gears, the pull ration doesn't work well, its like 2 shifts for one gear up. Well, in short, I have 10v in shifters, and in cogs, and the derailleur, also 10v, but just reach 8 gears, sometimes. I need to replace de derailleur for a Tiagra Road ?

You need a derailleur matching the shifters. Ten speed mountain is totally different than any road setup is compatible with. Tiagra is a weird group - when they bumped up to 10 speed (after this video was made), they changed their whole tiagra system to be compatible only with Tiagra. It’s effectively an island onto itself - all alone in terms of compatibility. If you want your shifters to be compatible, you’ll have to dump the m6000 rear and use a 10s tiagra rear. Nothing else is compatible.

I stumbled on your video because I encountered a problem with my bike conversion. I was handed a trek 7300 multitrack in very good condition but I wanted to convert it to dropbars. So I did. I bought a microshift R8 3x8 shifters. I did not encounter any problem with the right shifter and rear derailleur (shimano stx RC) but I do have a problem between the left shifter and the front derailleur (shimano Nexave). If I can get a smooth shift from small ring to middle ring, the middle to large shift does not work. If I fix the middle to large ring, the middle to small shift will be affected and won't work. I just thought they might work probably they are not compatible. I did not make a very thorough research about microshift and shimano nexave compatability. Currently I just use the middle ring and don't shift to small or large ring.

This Informations are so worthy. Thanks man.
Does this mean that the rear derailleur doesn't matter? If you have matching speeds between the shifter and the cassette, you stay within road or MTB family, and stay within the capacity of the rear derailleur, then you can use any derailleur?

IDK but I feel like simple lever pull designs should be more advanced, and capable of adjusting any and all gear ranges. The derailleur should be responsible for all the complications of pulling a cable. It's very odd to me that people consider a lever pulling a cable "retro" or "vintage". Seems kind of like calling water a vintage drink

Helpful video, although DynaSys I / MTB10 works with DynaSys II / MTB11, despite the initial information.
I've a 10 speex xt rear mech with clutch on a 9 speed cassette pulled by 11 speed slx shifter and it works pretty good in till I put the clutch on and then the shifter won't pull the derailleur properly, is this due to pull ratio? Or do my clutch need serviced? Any help or advice welcome

Fixed it😀
So the 6600 6700 7800 and 7900 are all compatible? Irregardless its FD or RD?
Can I use 9 speed Altus Shifter in 9 speed Alivio derailleur? Thanks.
I'm cheekily using a type 2 shifter with a type 4 derailleur!
Got a bit thrown off on your explanation at 8:00 . Could I use a 9s shimano cassette with a 9s shimano mtb rear derailleur with 10s Shimano road shifters? The only difference between 9s and 10s cassettes would be less gear range and not having to block out 1 gear on the 10 speed cassette. Let me know if there is something im missing.
If i combine: 9s rear derailleur (shimano) and 9s shifter (Shimano) with a 8s Cassete will it work?
I’ve just purchased a SRAM x4 rear derailleur and my shifter is a shimano altus st-ef51 for 8speed... will it work? Cheers
Dear sir according on this diagram is it possible to work a xtr rd-m972 Derailleur ( 9 speed) with 11-46t cassette and 10 speed shifter with an extender or not
