Add to that a new XT rear mech ...after some fairly erratic indexing the chain ended up off the rear jockey wheel and had to be split and the mech just stopped springing ..still it had had a good life ..I've buried it in the garden next to the old front mech. Btw..does anyone really use these new fangled clutches ? ..still puzzled too as to how the chain managed to free itself from the bottom jockey wheel..mighty strange ..de de doo woo de de do woo....

Mine started to do the lower jockey wheel thing, it was a combination of things I think, the spring for the lower cage had gone weak, cage was twisted and it had flared out around the very bottom, basically it was fucked.

Btw..does anyone really use these new fangled clutches ? I run a clutched zee rear mech. Must say with 1x10, it works a treat! Have only dropped a chain once... I've ridden without the clutch on as i forgot to switch it on, and the chain was slapping all over the shop. You can noticeably feel a difference in tension with it on/off May aswell get it, as they're pretty much standard now and only a fiver more normally It will make your bike alot quieter

Already got ..didn't bother " switching it on" ..but didn't notice a lot of slap either ..I didn't have a choice last night as he only had an XT available and I needed the bike for today . With all the bits ..the bike rode like nearly new ...wish I could say the same for myself ...!
