Suntour XCD chain compatability question - help
I'm building up a vintage 87 Trek 400 frameset and want to go the 9 spd route. I have Shimano 9 spd barcons, cassette and 105 triple crank. I was planning on going with 105 GS rear derailleur but to save a few bucks I already have an older Suntour XCD RD that I'd like to try so I would have the flexibilty of using a wider range Mtn cassette later if desired.
Since the rest of my set up requires a narrow 9spd chain, will that work with the Suntour XCD? If not does any one know where I could acquire narrower pulleys for it? Also does anyone have experience using Shimano barcons with Suntour rear derailleurs?
I have another Suntour XCD on my touring bike and it is works great with Suntour indexed 7 spd barcons, Shimano 7spd cassette , Deore LX crank, and Sram PC58 chain. Since I don't have another setup with a narrow crank to experiment with, I was hoping someone here had some experience.
Thanks!
