I have some m760s that deserve the treatment and would look ace. Not sure whether to do it myself or flog em to buy some SLX arms.

Anyone wanting to do it/thinking about it soon?

these ones btw:

Can those be Jones'ed? I thought it was only the XTR M960. Don' know why you'd jones those as they'll work fine with a single ring without any hacking and grinding. I'm tempted to do it with my 960's.

The m960 cranks had big arms on the spider. Jones'ing is hacking off the arms above the mount for the middle chainring to allow them to work with a single ring, then lots of grinding and sanding to make them look nice. Google jones and m960 for more info and photos.
