Shimano XT shadow rear deraileur. I paid i think 130 (but i got a discount because i bought a shifter/chainguide/cassette/chain). check it out, it seems to be a great bang for your buck; attractive, tight as shit, good components, and small. not to mention the fact that if you throw your bike down, the deraileur won't even touch the ground (that's the difference between XT and XT SHADOW maw-ucka)

look it up

You talking about this one?

I'm thinking of going with this one. Don't know how much shipping would be though. But so far i could have it at 55$ before shipping.

Do bike websites selling parts charge alot for shipping normally?

PS: It is sexy as hell!

yes thats the one. check out the sites above with some INFO buddy buddyz. good shit man, cant wait to ride that shit. if you want i can get back to you on the performance tommorow. it is super small i love it. go to your local bike store and they will have it, or will order it in. if you have to buy it off the internet, then depending on where you live relative to the site, it could cost anywhere from 15 to 50 dollars. USA to canada usually is about 20.

Well the site is from the UK. So they say 15 UK euros... so i'm not sure if its 15 Euros or 15 Pounds. If its 15 pounds then 30$ shipping coming at 85$... Or get it shipped by air mail the total would be of 68$. But by airmail i think it would take 1 to 2 weeks. But i don't mind. At 68$, should i go for it?

Dude get a X.9, they're around a 100 or less

Best derailuer i've ever owned, its solid, easy to set up, and just plain amazing.
Also the same performance as a X.0 just heavier, but its stronger

Dude do you read? I can get it off a site for 55$ the derailleur + either 30$+ or 13$ for longer shipping. Meaning at max i'd pay under 100$.

I'll check the X.9

You need a 1:1 ratio shifter.

oh sorry i got that messed up with the whole gpb thing. are you sure its not 50 euros because 50 dollars is really cheap, around 25ish euros. if you have that oppurtunity, go for it.

Nothing beats the X.0, but if its a money issue, you can not lose with the X.9... SRAM makes great, smooth, fast and responsive shifting systems
