njee20 – if you have absolutely nothing useful to contribute other than troll, why bother.
Nowhere seems to be selling the blanking plates as they are included with the retail packaged M780’s (I checked this morning). I didn’t want to swap all the 9sp stuff back on again having already fitted all the other 10sp stuff and removed all the 9sp kit.
The M780 10 speed shifters are totally different to the M770 which had blanking plates you accessed when you removed the windows. On the M780 they are separate items which are included if you are supplied with retail packaged shifters but are not if you get OEM like Merlin supply.
I thought about using tape over them but the plates are strange shaped on the new XT’s and butt up against the mounting bracket so would be tricky to seal properly. Plus if you can’t easily source the covers what’s the point.
