£250
A rear derailleur?
The GRX has a better clutch too compared with the Ultegra RX I think, that could help on your 324 links chain

Yeah, that's the price you pay in a shop. At least it was, 12 months ago.
Still £209 at Wiggle

Remember this is a road bike that is being moved over to gravel. I wasn't going to swap the shifters but they pissed me off enough that I decided to swap them along with the bars. The RD can wait until it gets fed into the back wheel. The cranks/PM can wait until they die.

Yeah, I didn't want to change the mech. The one on here already cost £250.
Someone was explaining the GRX derailler to me recently. It has a different parallelogram swing or something so works better with wide range cassettes than road stuff. I mean, that's the point, but it's nice that it's actually true.
