I was going to ask the same question,thought you were going to put xt mech on Michael? No mate, that would just have added more expense, and I quite like how "dinky" the zee is. Seems to be working ok, might see if I can get a pass out for next weekend if you fancy going to gisburn? Peaks? |

I got mine set up perfect with a short cage zee mech that I`d borrowed from big lee. I`d taken the washer out of the B screw but realised that it would adjust fine even with the washer in place...so I put it back on...and refitted the B screw...cross threaded...bollox  |

I can't get my head around this...so an expander cog works with a Zee? despite all the manufacturers recommendations?

Maybe mate - I know I struggled with a long cage XT on the 42t.

I`ve got the 42t and on the work stand I managed to index the gears spot on with the zee.lee`s got the 40t on his nomad and he`s never had any probs running a short cage zee.
yep,mine was running fine but the mech`s always looked ridiculously long even though it`s a medium xt. I`m hoping the lbs may be able to rescue the zee for me,either that or I`ll have to take it to work and see if I`m delivering to any friendly engineers in the next few days. |

I`ve managed to drill and re tap the B screw.the gears are indexed there or there abouts,changing is quite slick but it just doesn`t look right.i won`t know till I ride it as to wether it`s going to work but I`m thinking there`s not enough chain being taken up on the cassette. any opinions?

on roundies not low coggers, but that looks strained too,would this eventually not wear the tension on the mech?
