Are those six finger levers?

Define cheap?

Fat Chance Ti

Ritchey Ultra

Under £100 a set?
Ideally something easy to service, change pace etc. My bike has enough non standard weird bits already!

@amey what’s the deal with those? Legit Shimano?

yeah, I had them from same seller, all good

if you want to up your budget there are XT and other options on Aliexpress as well

If you shop around you can get deore mt520 4 pot for £100.

Did it take long to turn up?

What is STEPS? I thought that was to do with e motors?

Maybe it has the interface for motor cut-off cabling.

mt520 4 pot

My Orange came with the Mt500 2 pot and they were decent actually.

Yeh that was all I could think, or some kind of mounting point like ‘I mount’ for gear levers?

Under £100 a set?

Bust your budget and get Magura MT Trail Sport.

Gonna go to peaslake tomorrow. Train to Westhumble then ride over.

Anyone want to join? Expect eclectic mix of getting rad with a massive XC schlep.

Guess the price:

£2,300
£2,500
£1,100
£1,700

no cheating

Sx eagle, Alu frame, recon, looks like formula hubs. I wouldn't pay more than 1100.

Well, yes - and that's the point - nobody will sell you the same in 2020 flavour for less

Or £1,105 if you don't already have a valid Go Outdoors card.

what’s the diff between NX and SX eagle?

SX loses that annoying pulley on the rear mech and the shifter looks super cheap, but hopefully they haven't found a way to reduce the build quality over NX which is already a bit flaky.

New Bossnut looks fantastic. Shame they didn't spec a 35 and a dropper and bump the price to £1250/£1300 though.
