    Any good?
    Significantly cheaper than the genuine Shimano replacements (£70 a set of three against £85 just for an outer) and I can’t justify the expense of proper Shimano ones
    Anything else recommended?

    I’vc used them for the past few years.

    Great product, not only cheaper than Shimano but (in hardpoint/slickshift) last far longer – and lighter.

    Got the big ring a while ago and never got on with it, never seemed happy shifting up to the big ring. Changed it for a new Shimano one a few weeks later.

    Last ages compared with the Shimano but don’t shift as smoothly ime.

    I may have a couple if mr.blobby hasn’t.

    They need a good old thumbing of the shifter to get them to change, you can’t just jab at the shifter and expect them to shift. Apart from that they are fine.

    They work absolutely fine. I’m on my third set and wouldn’t consider Shimano.

    can be prone to chainsuck, wider than xtr originals hence the poorer shifting

    but good value if they work for you

    I do still have it but am keeping hold of it as an emergency spare. Big_n_daft sounds about right, seem to remember issues with chainsuck too.

    I ordered a Shimano 960 middle ring this morning (£60), but I’d rather pay the extra for the nice gear shifts.
