Cheaper alternative new Sram Apex rear der, can handle up to a 32 tooth cog.....a ton cheaper then the added cost of an XX cassette and rear der thats $500 just between those two!!!!

Shane-
I replied off-list as well, but wanted to make one point for the list. Until recently, you couldn't run SRAM road and MTB together. With the new XX line, you can run 10 speed Double-Tap shifters and a 10 speed MTB derailleur/cassette.

Be warned, though: it's pretty spendy at $250 for just the derailleur.

All,

Looking for some feedback on shifter/brake/derailleur combo setups for CX. Does anyone know if the SRAM Double Tap will shift a SRAM MTB derailleur? I'd like to put a SRAM 10 speed MTB cassette and derailleur, but need to switch from flat bars to drop bars.

I'm looking to figure out the puzzle of parts and compatibility and the mystery that is CX. Thanks for any input.

All,

Looking for some feedback on shifter/brake/derailleur combo setups for CX.
Does anyone know if the SRAM Double Tap will shift a SRAM MTB derailleur?
I'd like to put a SRAM 10 speed MTB cassette and derailleur, but need to
switch from flat bars to drop bars.
