So I fucked up my dérailleur after god knows how many miles and thus need a new one.
Had quite a biking and bike fixing hiatus, so it's been forever since I last worked on that part of my bike.
The adjustment I can probably figure out (I heard there is a thing called youtube…), but I'm not quite sure how I can mix and match stuff.
The original one is an old as shit shimano deore XT, but since it is my "I'm-so-rusty-that-you-must-be-really-stupid-to-steal-me beater bike", I dont wan't to buy an expensive one. Can I simply bolt on some Alivio shit and reuse my shifter (assuming it's an 8)? What about other brands, like the pictured SRAM or some random chink shit?
