Can I use 8s Claris R2000 Rear Derailleur on a 10 Speed Cogs (11-28t) and 10s drop-bar brifters/sti?

Asked by: Ashish Ralda

Is Shimano Claris compatibility?

Yes, you can use any 8 or 9 speed rear derailleur (with the traditional cable pull ratio, but SRAM 1:1 does not matter here) with 8 speed shifters. The same for the front ones. That includes these two Claris generations. Your combination is compatible.

Is Shimano Claris 8 speed?

CLARIS ensures easy-to-operate, accurate and light-action shifting with SHIMANO 8-speed index system, powerful brakes and smoothly rotating hubs. Durable and low maintenance quality 8-speed drivetrain gives you the optimal range of gears for on-road cycling.

Is Shimano Claris 9 speed?

Because Shimano Claris is an eight-speed system (i.e. there are eight sprockets on the cassette) there are always going to be bigger jumps between gears, compared to the nine-speed Shimano Sora, 10-speed Shimano Tiagra, and 11-speed 105, Ultegra, and Dura-Ace groupsets.

Which is better Sora or Claris?

The Claris groupset comes out on top when it comes to stopping power. There is a noticeable difference in how quickly the calipers respond, and brakes engage compared to the Sora system.

Is Claris good enough?

The newer Claris is actually really good. I’ve tried a lot of groupsets as a bike shop employee, and while I wouldn’t get a bike with Claris anymore, I never hesitate to recommend it to a beginner. It’s good enough for most people, save for the serious roadies.

Which is better Claris or 105?

105 is higher in Shimano’s road hierarchy as it’s designed for “enthusiasts” whereas Claris components are considered entry-level. Therefore, there is no doubt that Shimano 105 is the more sophisticated of the two. However, higher-end components are not the best choice for every project.

Can I use 105 cassette on Claris?

No, that will not work. The latest generation R2000 Claris groupset and it’s predecessors are all 8 speed systems, so you can’t select 11 sprockets on the cassette. If you are thinking that you can use the 8 of the 11 sprockets, that won’t work either.

When did Shimano Claris come out?

Can you mix Shimano groupsets?

It is possible to mix and match as long as you get components from the same generation. For example: 9000 Dura Ace, 6800 Ultegra, and 5800 105 are all cross compatible. Each have 11-speeds in the rear, use the same cable pull per shift and use the same front derailleur design.

What speed is Shimano Claris?

How do you adjust a Shimano Claris rear derailleur?

Quote from video: The derailleur down into the small cog. Once we do that we're going to turn the barrel adjuster all the way in so that we have room to adjust it. After adjusting the cable position at the anchor.

Should I adjust front or rear derailleur first?

In a nutshell, adjust the front derailleur first, then the rear. Show activity on this post. If the derailers just need minor tweaking (they are basically in adjustment but are “not quite right”) then you adjust the one that is obviously wrong, check the overall adjustment again, then again adjust what needs adjusting.

How do I know if my rear derailleur is worn out?

All derailleurs wear out at some point. Check for wear by pulling laterally on the lower cage. Compare this movement in the linkage of a new derailleur. Sloppy pivot and linkages will produce inconsistent shifting, and the only solution is a new derailleur.
