Anything out there a better deal (not necessarily cheaper) than the Zees on Merlin? 1x10, though I suppose it would be nice to stick a granny on there too (which I can't on the Zee).
Deore or slx from Ribble??
I'll have a look, cheers. Anyone tried the cheap Raceface Respond from CRC?
Bump for the morning crew... Any bargains out there? Anyone tried the Responds?
fwiw: deore cranks are only around 40grams heavier than xt.
That is interesting. The Zee weigh a ton though, weight isn't the main concern. That said, I've not really heard any stories of Deore failing so maybe I don't need the extra strength.
Ran deore on my dh bike no probs for a long time
They ended up on my comutter but I'd strip the pedal threads
LX m580 ones on ebay & J.E.James for £50 at the moment.

Wow, those LX must be getting on a bit - didn't they get replaced in the MTB range a few years back?
deores are 50 quid on crc up till 2pm today
So basically, what we're all saying is that I'd be daft not to buy the Deore, and I should ignore the Raceface? Especially considering I can use the rings off it for my other bike?
Deore it is then 😀
Nothing wrong with LX's just cause they are old stock - better than deore's IMO & I have both on different bikes
This might be a daft question - will I get a better chainline running a single ring on a triple chainset than on a double?
