Hey there!
My bike was stolen not very long ago, so my insurance company decided to replace it with a Scott Sportster 40. I like the frame, tires, brakes and fork, but I feel that the derailleurs are wayyy too cheap. So I'm looking to upgrade both the front and back derailleurs!
So I have these three questions:
- What derailleurs are compatible with my Scott Sportster 40? I'm looking for a high end upgrade, something like Altus, Sora or 105. Click here for full specs
- What is the difficulty of changing these? Will I need any special tools?
- How much would upgrading the derailleurs benefit me? I bike 22 kilometers per day, mostly on asphalt but I ride on gravel/mud/dirt around 25 kilometers a year, without any big bumps.
Stock rear derailleur: Shimano Acera RD-M390
Stock front derailleur: Shimano Altus FD-M370

Upgraded front derailleur: Shimano 105, Tiagra or Sora
