Hi,
I'm building up a Boardman Carbon Pro MTB 2012 and one of the parts I need is the rear mech.

I'm unsure if it is medium or long cage? Anyone able to advise which I need please?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers, Lee

    What size chainrings and cassette are you using? This determines mech cage size.

    Is that what you are refitting? If do you've answered your own question. If not it's irrelevant as has been stated above we need to know what crankset you are planning to fit

    He didn't answer his own question . I informed him what came on the bike originally . I ride one .

    Hi,

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I've just got back from a bike ride with the family.

    I've managed to find a guy who had damaged his carbon pro frame, and have secured most of the parts I need from him.

    His bike had suffered damage to the frame, rear mech, rear wheel and rear cassette.

    I've got the bottom bracket, and crankset (42-28) and have ordered a rear cassette (11-34). Hopefully this cassette should be suitable?

    I've secured a wheelset from that famous auction site. These seemed too good to pass up:-

    coulddobetter,
    I may be interested in your wheelset and the rear mech. What were you thinking for a price? Is this sort of thing done openly on the forum, or by Private Message?

    Cheers, Lee
