My M985 XTR Shadow Plus Rear Mech got attacked by a branch tonight and snapped the lower part of the cage clean off.

Any of you good folks know if i can buy spares?

I only need a cage and don’t want to fork out for another complete derailleur.

Try Petra Cycles.

Although looking at their site this GS plate is £55, so it’s going to work out at £110 for two.

Edit : Nope – £11 for the back plate

Spares available to order from any shop with a madison account.

GS
Outer plate – 5XD 9809 – £59.99
Inner plate – 5XC 0900 – £12.99 (out of stock until 03/04/13)

SGS
Outer plate – 5XD 9810 – £59.99
Inner plate – 5XC 1000 – £12.99 (out of stock until 13/4/13)

Thanks folks, thats really useful 🙂

Fibre lyte

Check these guys out – I had a similar issue on an M970 rapid rise. Delivered next day, cheap, bling and superb quality. I think the part was £20 in carbon fibre or £50 for an OEM bit.

Cheers fizzicist, i’m liking the £20 price tag too.

Yeah – fibre lyte are a bit less eye watering than the Shimano bits.

I must have whacked my xtr rear mech as the outer cage is splitting. I found Fibre Lyte while looking for replacement options. It’s holding out at the moment though so I haven’t bothered (will probably come to bite me in the ass).
