Yup, mine arrived today too – bargainaceous! Ta muchly, OP.

Yep, usual CRC big box turned up. Not so much of a bargain, had to buy a new frame to fit my bargain 10 spd shifters to!

got mine this morning, just need the rest of the parts to finally go 1×10. Which rear mech should I go for?

Depends on how much you want to pay, but SLX is good, especially the 2013 stuff.

I’m going for ZEE to go on my DJ/Muck-about bike in the new year purely for the short cage.

suddenly lots of pairs on eBay

Mlucas, what’s different about the 2013 stuff. Crc have the 2013 mech for a fiver more than the old one. It looks different, but doesnt seem to have the fancy clutch feature…?

The ebay sellers are humorous. Loads of left only for sale, plus plenty of the no window pairs for £40 or so. Shame a good deal on crc has to end up as profit in someone’s pocket instead of on the bike of people without much spare cash!

Sorry, meant the ones with the Clutch.

I don’t suppose there’s much difference between the pre-2013 SLX and 2013 SLX (non clutch) mechs in performance, if anything at all, but the 2013 models do look nicer IMO.

Got mine today as well, Bargin of the year!

Question is, what double front slx 10 spd mech do I want for the new set up?

28.6mm sizing any thoughts welcomed!

I’m with glasgowdan, I missed out, shame so many people are selling on eBay I counted about 15 pairs, but that’s life I guess, have agreed to buy a rear 10 speed of a pal £17.50 still a bargin!

Kid cragg, you don’t need to buy a 10speed front mech. If you have a 9speed triple front mech, just set the stop so far across that it acts as a double, if you get what I mean?.

I’ve never felt the need for shifter windows.Gears are done by feel or by predicting an upshift or downshift as you read the trail.

Try riding without them!

No. I like them. Why should I take them off..? I don’t have to do what you say, and riding without them doesn’t make you better than me. 🙂

Ever thought that those selling them don’t have much spare cash either and are using the profits to keep cycling? 🙂

Picked mine up from the PO today , thanks very much OP.

They’re now sat in my spares box waiting for my bike to catch up with technology(or when my drivetrain dies)
