I have a 2008 Meta with the original drivetrain somehow still going strong - apart from play in the rear mech.
It's a full XT groupo but not sure of serial numbers etc off hand...
Merlin are knocking these out for £35 which seems a bargain for XT

Looks a bit different to mine but it's 9 speed so should be fine.
Not even sure if these new clutch mechs are compatible with my drivetrain etc - should I just get this?
Thanks in advance 🙂
Run one of those on my commuter/hybrid. Its not shadow (low profile) and its not plus (clutch), but its a quality mech that'll run sweet and smooth. Will work with any mega9 (Shimano 9sp) drivetrain components. By the way, the clutches only come on 10sp models, so unless you upgrade to 10sp you won't be able to benefit from that anyway.
I think M760 stuff was model year 2004, superseded by M770 in 2008. Your bike probably had 770 when new, but 760 should work fine, and there is quite a lot of 760 stuff being sold off very cheaply at the moment.
