Hello,
I am new to this forum and also need some help with my bike.
So, I bought a Shimano Deore XT rear derailleur knowing nothing except that it would be better then my 8 speed Alivio. I discovered that I will need the following, but I am not sure:
- 9 speed cassette - 9 speed chain - 9 speed crankset (current crank is SR Suntour) - 9 speed shifter
*Please note that all the compoonents on my bike are 8 speed.
So, am I right about the components that I will need? And just in case you're wondering, my bike is an '04 Trek 4300.
If I do need a new crank, would this one be ok?
Thanks in advance!

Found an answer on another forum, computer forum to my surpise. Set bike up as 8 speed and may upgrade to 9 speed later.
