    Looking at buying a slx shadow plus rear mech to go on a 1×10 setup (34t front ring, 11-36 cassette). Thinking the gs cage would be best, the description says it has a 35t ring capacity, i’m not sure weather that relates to the front or back rings and want to double check the gs cage will work on my setup, i’m pretty sure it will be fine but thought i’d check on stw before i press the buy button.
    Thanks.

    Get the Zee instead, essentially a short cage SLX.

    Your set up needs a mech with a capacity of 25 or more (36 minus 11) so GS would be fine.

    I recently fitted one of these and didn’t get on with it. Running 10 speed with a double and it seemed to make the chain tension up just enough to make the gears very noisy when down shifting.. probably ok with a single ring?

    Thanks guys.

    svalgis- Thought about a zee i’d want the 32t-36t ratio for my setup right??

    +1 on the Zee, I’ve just fitted a Zee groupset on my hardtail. Its a nice rear mech and works absolutely fine with my 1×10 setup. Yes you will need the 32-36t version for your casette.

    Have you checked the Merlin prices at the mo.
    Cheapest I’ve found.

    Thanks all. I’ve gone for the zee.
    jkomo- Yes merlin is always the 1st place i check and buy from most, but have found the zee mech cheaper at JE James. Never used them before so fingers crossed.
    Thanks again.

    Rose Bikes are a fair bit cheaper for a full set up.
