Anyone seen any blindingly good deals around at the moment? Doesn't have to be SLX but I'd imagine that's probably the best value.

    I would suggest one of the German websites. Have a look on here http://www.bike-discount.de/shop/k407/mtb.html or Rose bikes etc. Germans seem to have the best deals on this sort of thing.

    Bearing in mind they'll likely be back to front and need swapping over.

    Only the brakes, so would depend on whether they want a groupset with brakes as well or without.

    Or do they run shifters the other way round as well?

    Aaaaah (read it as brakes, more coffee needed), and no.

    It is only a case of swapping the brake hoses over. Good shout chaps.

    Out of interest is the only difference between XT M780 and M785 that the M780 is a triple and the M785 a double crankset? Or is 785 the newer version?

    SLX shifter (right hand only)
    HGX 10 spd chain
    10 speed cassette

    Whole lot cost me about £200 brand new.
