  • @Howard and @edscoble and @mdcc_tester

    Excellent news. Will try fiddling with B screw but otherwise will search for cheap MTB mech. Thanks all.

  • I've got a couple kicking around - an X9 (short), X0 (long cage) and an X7 (long cage) - you can try one if you like.

    Internet seems to think capacity of a short cage SRAM MTB is 32 so with a 53/39 12-30 you would have a set-up that on paper would work if you went short. Unless I can't math.

  • any of them type 2? dibs if so (10 speed)

  • Thanks for the offer but postage would be a killer as I'm now in Aus. :)
    Which reminds me - what would be the hardtail frame of choice now for fast fire trail and single track? And what bouncy forks? Last time I was serious about MTB was 15 years ago, I suspect things have moved on.
