There some frankly silly prices going on over at Merlin

Deore shadow + rear mech £23
XT 10s chain £13.75
SLX double chainset £69.95

I may just stockpile a drivetrain and a rear mech or two at that price

Merlin sale linky

Oh and they also have one for those bikes that can only ride on smooth paved roads in the name of pain suffering and boredom, but who’d want to go and do that.

Cheers that is nice and cheap :).

Shame theirs cage mechs are £15 more

I would have bought the medium cage mech but I don’t want long cage. Still BB chain and cassette all grabbed for £36

I stocked up on a couple of BBs, can’t go wrong for £8.50

If the medium cage mechs hadn’t of been so much more I would of started gathering 10 speed stuff, ah well, stops me from wasting money.

Balls!
I’ve just bought a Deore one for my Fargo..

And those SLX ones look a lot nicer.. 😳

1×10 SLX/Deore upgrade for £80 with a spare Deore front shifter
Bargain, I can live with a long cage mech at that price

Now cheapest narrow/wide chainring is where?

Got an SLX crankset £70, bargain. Some of the front mechs are very well priced also.

Oooooh, need a 10 speed rear shifter, nearly bought that cheapie M610, but then I realised that you can’t remove the indicator window can you? Still can’t do this on deore shimano!? Get you’re act together :p 🙁

Am i right there?

Couple of cassettes and chains for the stockpile, thanks for that 🙂

Teetosugars, I told you about it yesterday ;0)

Alexdodd, hacksaw blade – 50p 😉

Haha, i know that would work, but not quite what i was after! Saw they had slx for £5 more but out of stock for now. It can wait! 🙂

Thanks op!

Chain and cassette ordered 🙂

Should be in the shed before the wife gets home too 😆

Nice one thanks 10 speed chain and bb ordered for the stock pile

nice one!! rear mech, chain and cassette ordered for my upgrade!!

@ alexdodd

If you have a look on the site they have the Zee shifter (which is windowless) for the same price. You weren’t ever going to use the front shifter were you!

Also, SLX cassette and chain bundle for £30 which is only £4 more than the Deore + chain.

SLX Mech, cassette and chain, + Zee shifter – I’ve just gone 10 speed for £80 😀
Another £20 for the On-One narrow-wide when it comes out, and I’m a happy bunny!

Just spunked 150 quid on a 105 drivetrain minus the cranks, can’t be bad.

my order arrived this morning…happy days!!
will be fitting the components tonight when i get home so its ready for tomorrows ride at Llandegla….wife will not be happy!!

Got mine in less than 24hrs, all proper boxed aswell, no OE.
