This has presumably been done to death, so apologies.
It's time to replace my rear mech - just wondering if anyone has an opinion on non - clutch XT medium cage, versus Zee short cage with clutch, which can be had for £4 extra on CRC.
Will a short cage be alright with a 36t cassette and single ring? Does the clutchy bit actually make any difference - chain retention isn't really an issue for me, as I have a full chain device anyway. Any perceptible difference in quality/ longevity/ weight etc?
Cheers all.

yes. as long as you by the Zee mech for wide rang, they do two models i got mine from Rose for £46 though they now are out of stock
see http://www.rosebikes.co.uk/product/detail/aid:591957
see it says max sprocket size of 36t and a total capacity of 25t, which is oddly the tooth difference on an 11-36 cassette.... so ideal for a 1x10 setup
all the information is already out there..
Ha. Cheers. I'm clearly rubbish at using searches, but I promise I did try...
