Oh, ok. You wouldnt need anything new unless its a different speed then your bike. If you have a 7 or 8 speed cassete and the deraileur is set up for a 9 you need anew wheelset and a new cogset.

Actually the gear range on the rear derr. is determined by the shifter. As long as a derr can cover the range from the smallest to largest cog it will work. Almost every shimano rear derraelleur is 7/8/9 speed compatible.
