Component compatibility

[mumbo jumbo]

Will this work?

105 levers
Tiagra 9 speed front mech
3 front rings
105 rear mech

Thanks in advance...

depends, silly question, are the levers for a triple, and is the rear mech a long cage one? if so should be ok

oh and assuming 3 front rings for 9 speed set up....

No idea. I'm at the mechanically sub-normal end of the spectrum

. How can I tell?

i'd look for the model no on the rear mech and do a google search.....all i can say is long cages errm look long ....as a rough guide the cage on the wheel side of my short cage ultegra mech is approx 80mm (cage only) guess if yours is significantly longer then its a long cage

I currently have a tricross with tiagra shifters 50/39/30 at the front.I removed the 11/32 cassette and the deore lx rear derailler and replaced with a 12/25 cassette and 105 rear derailler and everything works ok.Dont know about the 105 shifters but I dont recon there is that much of a difference.Dont know if this info is a help to you
