Arse!

Hmmm, maybe you'll see a nearly new SLX GS clutch mech on the classifieds within the next couple of weeks........

If you're getting the cassette adapter then I'd give it a try with the GS mech... It [i]may[/i] be ok....

Yeah, re-reading the thread Robin was using a GS mech.

No harm in trying it, and if needs be I could buy an SGS mech if it doesn't work and flog the GS on.

Glad to hear its working well for you so far!

Cheers!

My set up this morning with a GS rear mech, first ride out shortly. In the stand the only resistance in shifting is when going from gears 3-4 and vice versa off and back on to the adaptor from the Shimano cogs. I'll see how it settles before I go mad with a dremel :D.

One thing I did notice is that I had to put a longer b-tension screw in to get the top jockey wheel clear of the 42t ring.

Will update later on first ride thoughts

Amongst Dirt's Eurobike photos, no more info than that, and nothing on Trickstuff's website yet.

Here:

And they say:

Trickstuff also had this wide range 11-40 10 speed cassette on show. That's not too far off what XX1 offers, yet with this you get to keep all your other kit. If the price is sensible on this then it could sell like hot cakes.

Which makes sense as I don't think that a 10 will fit on a standard cassette body.

Has anyone got any experience with this setup? It would be a lot cheaper than the Leonardi or the Trickstuff converters...
