with a Dura Ace 9-speed rear derailleur?

I've been contemplating expanding my gearing range and have thought of the Wolf Tooth link as opposed to switching to an XTR.

Anyone have success with the Roadlink and 9-speed?

Yeah, they work beautifully. Go for it.

they do work well for their intended purpose, but many people fail to understand what they are actually for. they increase the max tooth capacity in the rear, but they do not increase the available chain wrap of the existing RD.

if you post what you want to do, we can help you determine if a roadlink will work or will not work.

Yes to tooth capacity. BTW, what can I expect in this regard. I can currently run a 27.

Bump to confirm that it is 9-speed compatible, as it is described for 10 and 11 speed.

Thanks for your input.
