Techies: Backwards Compatibility Q?
I'm lowering the gearing on my 7-Speed beater bike (Shimano). I need a longer arm derailleur. Ebay is chock-full of 9-speed derailleurs (specifically XT RD-M750). Would one of those be backwards-compatible with my 7-Spd shifters and Freewheel?
Full particulars: 52/42 Front. 14-34 "Mega-Range" 7 spd Freewheel. Shimano 7-Spd DT shifters (rear is indexed, front not).
Any help gratefully appreciated,
Peter
Can't load files from Garmin 800 into Strava anymore. HELP!!
For some reason, it quit working. I installed Garmin Connect as required. Tried disconnecting and reconnecting. No luck. Anyone have any ideas on what I am doing wrong or what is going on? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

A shout out to Yvette and Karen for the Holiday Party. Great planning and execution. Thanks for sweating the details!
PS> On that note, a special mention to Peter Jacobson, an HVAC specialist who figured out the problem with Cafe Tallulah's air conditioning.
B15 dirt ride for Saturday - Patriot's Path
Chris Hartmann created a less "technical" variation of the Patriot's Path cue sheet and I'm leading at an easy pace. You still want something more than a road bike with 700x23 tires, but hybrid will do. Will be meeting at Penn Station at 7:45AM.
