    Anyone know of an alloy cage which’ll fit the above mech, please? I’m looking for something more durable than carbon, so that’s the Fibre Lyte ones out the window (pricy as well). I’ve googled about but can’t find any dedicated alloy replacements, are there cages out there which’ll bodge on?
    Cheers

    Ah fair enough that’s not fun, let me know how you get on if you would, please, I reckon I’m going to do the same one of these days.

    Can’t remember 100%, but I’m pretty sure the cage off of a m772 fitted on mine, you may have to drill a new hole for the spring or use the spring off of the donor mech but I’ve had quite a lot of success swapping cages. For example I had a XT mech with ultegra cage on my CX bike for a while, but that did need re drilling to get the spring tension right
