eitan Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Luckily my LBS had a chair for me to sit on when they quoted me R950 for 6 grams of carbon! That is the replacement quote from Shimano for an XTR cage plate. And the new one will probably break in the same spot.
Ryanpmb Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 If you search around here, you'll find the whole RD for a little more than that...
DR ◣◢ Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Suddenly I'm scared of riding with mine. Being on an all-mountain bike the chances of smashing it on a rock is pretty big. Oh well... Ill just replace it with an XT when that happens.

Azonic Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 I always find it crazy how guys use XO, XX and XTR on like DH bikes. The **** costs so much money and one rock and its moertoe. Yeah, they are sponsored so guess that covers it. No-one except sponsored riders should be using those three deraileurs. Unless you work for goverment. Heel Drop 1
Guest Latent Blue Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 you should speak to Bogusone I'm sure he could build you a new plate for alot less. he is a wizz with carbon.was just about to mention that!

SaKiwi Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 So why carbon? I will sell you an aluminium plate for R100, and will weigh few grams more.
gummibear Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Bling your bike with some Yumenya bits...or just get a XT rd. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Images/Models/Original/35059.jpg
