The pivots on my XT short cage rear mech are rubber ducked. Is this something that is repairable or is it straight in the skip? Ta.
Shimano rech mechs, rebuildable?

which model is it? M730, M732, M737 or later? i think from the M737 model on the derailleurs had the p-screw which enables you to disassemble the mechs second pivot. its quite easy. the first pivot at the derailleur bolt is easy to disassemble too but reassembling is a pain.

think it's skip or spare parts if the parallelogram pivots are screwed though.

I think all the pivots are shot. The main pivot at the frame is knackerded and I think both the paralellagram pins have play in them. As the body is aluminium and the pins seem to be steel I thought the mech was shot but thought i'd ask.

Unless I'm very much mistaken that's an 'Estwing' hammer you've used in your picture, in which case you'd be looking at spending alot more than 7 quid.gibbleking":2eoj9f88 said:
In fact it'd be cheaper to buy a new rear mech...
