Hi All

Looking to change over to 12spd as lots on the 11spd is wearing out and seems like a great to time upgrade the drivetrain.

Stumbled across a possible issue with the rear mech hanger. Currently on XTR with the B link on my SC 5010. I've completely confused myself if the new 12 spd rear much will work with the existing hanger. Looking at various images it looks like my hanger will work but does anyone know for sure?

TIA

My XT 12s mech works on a 5010 V3 though the b screw is just barely on the hanger.However,so far it has been easy to set up and trouble free.

Thanks Orgi, I'm on a V1 but the hanger looks pretty similar 🙂

Shameless plug but I've got a brand new in box SLX 12 speed rear mech that I bought by mistake for sale.

V2 5010 here and I'm all good on 12 speed XT. As above, the b tension screw is at its limit.
