[Closed] Shimano Clutch rear mechs?

No 9-speed option.

Got a 10speed xt shadow one, but only ridden it twice so can't really say yet...

Ordered one last night. Looking forward to seeing how it goes..

they're great, no real difference in shifting performance but they really help to keep the chain on and stop chain slap, I've got a 2013 strive with one on and its silent down rough descents, all you can hear is the sound of the tyres.

Had mine on for a couple of months now, shifting is lovely and it makes the rear end ever so quiet, love it

"a bit strange with most people riding 9 speed."
But now you have a reason to buy a complete set of 10 speed?
They're not stupid you know

Eh!?
You only need, cassette, chain, shifter, rear mech to go ten speed. Hardly bank breaking if you get stuff from one of the many cheap German stores...

But if u buy cheap you end up with one of them stupid casettes that weigh more than the moon. Even if you buy xt you still add weight to the bike. And for what purpose?

I certainly don't need another gear on my 1 x 9

Is that more or less expensive than just buying a mech?

I went 10 speed 2 weeks ago. Shimano Zee clutch mech, XT Cassette, Saint shifter and SRAM chain.All for £140. So far it has been great.its quiet,shifts nicely and chain stays in place.
