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 1x10 on a 29er HT or would it be better to go with a medium cage?
I'm using mine for 1x10 on my scandal 29er works flawlessly
My son runs one on his 1x10 24er and it works fine. He has a 11-36t cassette. I would imagine it would also work on a 29er.
+1Dammit why is it only the long cage version
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 2x9?
medium showing out of stock again now, bugger!
