Ta

use topcashback also

Been after this for ages, thanks OP.

Dammit why is it only the long cage version 😡

Bump

Yet again top quality service from merlin and a awesome bit of kit

Would it be OK to run this 1×10 on a 29er HT or would it be better to go with a medium cage?

I’m using mine for 1×10 on my scandal 29er works flawlessly

My son runs one on his 1×10 24er and it works fine. He has a 11-36t cassette. I would imagine it would also work on a 29er.

Dammit why is it only the long cage version

+1

Thanks.

I know it says 10spd only but would it work with 9spd cassette and shifters?

no.

Actually it will

You will need to run it with a SRAM shifter and space the cable out 6mm where it bolts to the mech to get the right pull ratio.

Mine came last week and tried it at the weekend in the lakes, worked great! Not sure about SRAM shifters though. Used an X7 and the up lever gets stuck behind the down clicky lever, gash design! Fixed it by chopping a bit off the lever but not as good as shimano ones so its a win lose scenario. Shifts fine, didnt drop and it QUIET!

They now have both Medium cage and Long cage listed for £39.95 so ordered a Medium and will see what turns up.

Is there any way to run this with with SRAM 10 speed shifters? I wanna move to shimano but fancy doing it bit by bit.

Excellent PSA thank you. My 1 x 10 conversion begins!

Medium cage ordered, good spot. Thanks

Long or medium cage best for 2×9?

medium showing out of stock again now, bugger!
