Sherpa is in the Que & front rack question?

[AndyE]

I would not want to put much weight on them, but they are very nice for small items like a water bottle or two, etc.  I am in USA, shipping elsewhere might be very costly.  

The one shown is from Nashbar.

On another bike I have one from Sunlite.  The Sunlite one has some little tabs that attach to the cantilever bosses that were not bent correctly, I had to bend them to fit correctly on the bike.

Unfortunately I can't put one on my Nomad, the brakes are on the wrong side of the fork.

Apologies, Newbie mistake. I should have realised not everyone is from the UK!

Is the 9 speed rear derailleur compatible with the 10 speed cassette and shifters?

[AndyE]

I asked the same question macspud, I am told there is enough adjustment in the 9 speed to cope. Any way I can not see Thorn shipping out a new Sherpa that don't work!

Yes road 10 speed shifters and rear mechs use the same pull ratio as MTB 9 hence we use a 9 speed MTB mech,
10 speed MTB shifters use a different pull ratio and need a 10 speed MTB mech to work.
