Hi
I need a new rear 10sp shifter after breaking mine recently.
Do i have to use Shimano or will Sram be compatible?
I have an XT rear mech 10sp Dynasis with SLX cassette.
Also, Anyone had any experience of the new Zee stuff?
Would it be suitable for normal trail riding? And if not whats the main difference between a D/H specific shifter and say an SLX?
Cheers

I can't imagine any possible reason why Zee would be unsuitable.

Zee is SLX without the window and different branding. And yes, its very good for general trail use.

Zee is basically slx shifters - I have for years been using slx shifter with xt rear mech - butter smooth shifting, however i have always found that the kmc x10 chains and SRAM cassette are usually far superior than the shimano.
