Your drivetrain is probably compatible since you're running an 11-32 now, but if you installed a short cage rear derailleur then it could be an issue; chain length might not be optimal either.
I'll be switching from a 970 11-32 cassette to an 11-34 990... My bike already has a long cage X9 rd (stock component)... Will I need to add some extra links? Or switch to a longer chain?

cheers
 
if i added an extra link, would that be ideal though?

i've got a shimano chain right now, wondering if worth upgrading to the sram pg991 (regular or hollow pin) when i swap the 970 11-32 to 990 11-34?


cheers
