11-32 Road / Mountain Bike Cassette 9 speed is compatible with what derailuer
Howdy All,
Hey I am in my middle 60's and still ride big hills (Mountains of Lake County). But I am really starting to lose it. It's really a drag, first the speed, now the endurance, soon the strength. So I bought a SRAM Powerglide PG-970 PG970 11-32 Road / Mountain Bike Cassette 9 speed for my compact (doubles) Masi. With a 2X9 Sram Double tap shifters. I 'm not to sure about what derailleur to use. I am looking for a good/high quality Sram derailleur. Any and all advise is welcome. I am kinda stumped mid-size cage, long cage? My Mountain bike, a gary fisher, cassette is 12-34 and has a shimano deore-XT. Should I just get something like that? Or is it to big for a 32 t?
-Thanks Too_Old Shawn

I have 11-32 9-speed cassettes on three recumbents (one tandem and two singles) and one hybrid. Three with SRAM X5 RD's and the other with a SRAM X7 RD. All long cage. (1:1 actuation ratios)
I don't know enough about double tap shifters to say whether or not they work with all SRAM RD's. Looks as if should work with any 1:1 RD.

If you have a SRAM mid-cage road derailer, it will work with 11-32 and there is no need to get a new one. But they may not have been introduced until 10-speed so yours is probably short cage.

Sorry, but the SRAM MTB shifters aren not compatible with any road shifters, bacause no road shifters use 1:1 cable actuation.
The SRAM Apex road gruppo handles larger sprockets, and the Apex derailer will also work perfectly with your Double-Tap shifters.
I think 32t will be ok with a longer chain.
Chain length is critical, it must not be shorter than 2 links (1") longer than a chain wrapped full-tight around the biggest front and rear sprockets (bypassing the derailer for this test).
The Apex parts are not extremely expensive, more along the lines of Shimano's 105 parts price-wise.

SRAM says this about the Double Tap 9 Flat Bar Road shifters: "Only compatible with SRAM MTB 1:1 rear derailleurs". https://www.sram.com/sram/road/produc...-road-shifters
Are those the shifters on the bike? Or, do you have drop bars?
