    Both wiggle and chain reaction cycles sell that derailleur, as well as ebay of course.

    Only seen either a pair or front only in UK stores.

    Buy a pair and ebay the front one?

    thanks for your help, phoned my lbs only do them in pairs so it looks like a pair of slx for £40at Merlin, xt are nearly twice as much and funds are low after buying a new hope bb, its an expensive hobby i might go the road bike route

  • Slx have the same internals as XT anyway, so you probably wont notice the difference
