Hi,

After paying god knows how much for a shimano saint rear derailier, having used it for about 12 months and the bushes have now gone in the mount, rather than paying £100 for a new one does anyone know if it is possible to simply replace the bushes and if so how i can find out what size they are, as i do not have any precision measurment tools!

Cheers

    picture and point it out as it depends on how it is configured as to which you may be talking about.

    This is the exploded diagram of a current Saint mech. Do the parts you want have a number attached to them?

    he is after the bits that bolt the B axle to the frame and maybe the B axle.

    If you give them the part numbers I gave above they are the codes the Shimano importer uses so your retailer can order them really easily.
