What is the difference between MTB and road derailleur?

The primary difference between road and MTB derailleurs is the geometry of the parallelogram and how it effects the travel of the upper pulley. Both are optimized to move the pulley, and thus the chain, as closely to the profile of the cassette as possible to ensure good shifting.

Can I use a mountain bike derailleur on a road bike?

As long as they are designed with the same cable pull ratio, they are compatible, you can easily fit an MTB derailleur to a road frame. Front derailleur are sized accordingly to the chainring and whether the crankset is double or triple.

Can you put MTB shifters in a road bike?

In this case yes, it will index fine. And the new Sora mechs are designed to clear a 32T cassette sprocket so fine with an MTB cassette.

Is there a difference between MTB and road cassette?

Road cassettes tend to have more individual gears and the splinging in the hub is deeper to accomidate the greater force. Mountain cassettes tend toward multiple gear groups on a carrier, so the force is more evenly distributed and manufacturers can save weight by making the splines shorter.

Is Shimano Deore for road bikes?

Yes it will! I know this because I use it (Tiagra Brifters) on my Fuji commuter with a 11-32 cassette and it works perfectly. All Shimano rear mechs have the same pull and will work but the front mechs for mtb and road have a different pull ratio.

Can I use MTB rear derailleur on road bike?

Most 8- and 9-speed Shimano mountain bike and road kit is inter-compatible because they both use the same cable pull ratio. This means that you can use an 8 -or 9-speed mountain bike derailleur with road shifters or vice versa.

Can you use Shimano Deore on a road bike?

Can I use MTB cogs on road bike?

A mountain bike cassette can work on a road bike only if it has the same cog pitch as its road equivalent. If the cog pitch is different, the shifting would be inaccurate.

Can you mix cassette on road bike?

Indeed, it is now possible to mix and match 11-speed chains and cassettes from all three manufacturers with satisfactory results in most instances.

Is ultegra better than 105?

There is no longer any real technological difference between 105 and Ultegra, and the only real difference is that Ultegra is a lighter groupset. If you want to make, a cash value judgment go for 105 if you want to save weight go for Ultegra.
