Then you just pull out the cable housing and cut it to the length you want, push the cable back through, reattach everything and fine tune the derailer. Can I use a 9-speed derailleur on a 7-speed cassette? The answer is yes because the rear shift ratio of 9-speed and 7-speed derailleurs is the same if you stay within the same brand. Also, drip some Tri-Flow or something into all the pivots. Multiply the front gear number by the rear gear number to get the number of speeds. For example, if you have two front gears and five back gears, you have a speed bike.
Brake cable housings have a coiled metal spiral embedded in them, while compressionless shift cables have a series of tiny round wires running parallel along the length of housing. If you were to use brake cable housings on shift cables the result can be very poor shifting.

Unfortunately, most bikes shift differently in the stand than they do under load. It is always a good idea to get out and ride your mountain bike on inclines and flats in your neighborhood testing your shifting under load.
Make small adjustments with the barrel adjusters to account for suspension movement and chain tension. Shimano Rapid Rise rear derailleurs operate differently than your conventional rear derailleurs. Instead of naturally falling towards the smallest gear in the cassette, they pull inwards to the largest without any cable tension. When adjusting a Rapid Rise rear derailleur, you will have to manually push the rear derailleur to the smallest cog instead of the largest.
Adjust the high limit first and double check against the smallest as before, but to start with zero cable tension…you need to be in the easiest gear on your rear derailleur shifter pod.
