Asked by: Shelly Schmitt

Can you mix and match Shimano components?

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.

How do I know if a cranks will fit my bike?

The two most important factors are axle diameter and crank length.

Why is Shimano 105 so good?

105-level rear shifting is light, predictable and fast. It presents a significant improvement over the previous generation and adopts the brand’s low-profile Shadow construction, which tucks the body of the derailleur out of the way under the chainstay.

Why is Shimano called 105?

Can you mix and match groupset parts?

Indeed, it is now possible to mix and match 11-speed chains and cassettes from all three manufacturers with satisfactory results in most instances. Fussy riders and mechanics may notice a difference in the shift quality and/or some extra noise, however both are relatively subtle.

The SRAM rear derailleur (mech) will not work with a Shimano shifter as is; the cable pull and shift activation ratios are not the same between the two systems.

Will any derailleur fit my bike?

No, bike derailleurs are not universal. A derailleur that works with one bike may not work with another bike based on factors such as the cage length. Check the difference between the smallest and largest cogs and also the chainring size to determine the derailleur compatibility.
