i have been offered a 06 xtr front mech for cheap and have decided to buy it!
i currebtly have a lx front mech is it just a case of taking the lx mech off and putting xtr on and tuning it up!

    basically yes. as long as it is the correct diameter for your seat tube!

    they can be very different there are at least 4 versions of the LX

    and similar on the XTR it might work but there is a 75% that it will not.
