My old man is thinking of selling his Scott CX, size 56.

 

Looks very much like this one

We need a new build to perve over... Shamus? Ryan? Someone? Anyone?

 

Not new but I'll post some better pics of my Cotic rebuild over the weekend...

My MX build is virtually done, just some minor stuff to take care of but priority right now is my rear derailuer. The Shimano XT Long cage is not compatible or working 100% with my old style 10spd Ultegra shifters. Anyone out there who has an old style 10spd Ultegra or 105 RD?

Not sure if you'll get that to work, even with the older RD. Might work with non DynaSys components...

 

Edit: Refering to the XT (MTB) RD... obviously a 105 or Ultegra will work - provided the cage length is suitable for your cassette and chainring setup.

Hey Milky,

Think i have a 10spd Ultegra rear derailleur.

Drop me a pm, to remind me for a photo, then we can chat.

 

Ciao

This is a looooong shot . .  But . .

 

Does anybody have a Salsa CowChipper bar that they would like to flog?

just to be sure what you are saying, the current Long Cage 10spd XT MTB RD should work with the 10spd Ultegra Shifters?? if that is what you are saying then it doesn't work 100% i.e. it will shift up but not down, it also requires double clicks to shift up.

the internet says 9sp rear shimano derailleur will work with 10sp shimano brifters. (hate that word, better than STI though)

Was agreeing with you re XT not working and reiterating that a long cage Ultegra or 105 will work depending on your gearing.
