Wanted Suntour xc pro/comp front mech

[Mod-Master]

Looking for the above, don’t really care about condition, as long as the cage is somewhat presentable. No nos or vgc

I have a xt m735 with ok date stamp (O= 1990 K= November) to trade if that could sweeten the deal

To be honest i would prefer 28.6, and I don’t want to use a shim…

But just to check what does it weigh?

I should have one in 28.6mm - will look tomorrow.

Looks like Mat might have the one you need

No idea on weight but I found that the xc Ltd (lower model) mech weighs 116g. I’m guessing that this is the same or close.

On the weight weenie listing it says it weighs 114g, that’ll save 50g on my normal xt one

Here you go…

I doubled up on an image there, sorry.
The front of the cage looks quite narrow, see the ‘above’ picture. I’m not sure whether this is how it’s supposed to be… but I rode it fine, and I’m not going to bend anything now…
The face of the cage is a little over polished if anything, as can be seen in the picture.
Springs etc good, marked Xc Pro clearly printed, and all bolts present.
£20 posted if any use.

Best shifting smooth operating FDs of the era imo.

I’m gonna wait until I finish the build, then if I need to shave a few grams then I’ll go with Suntour…
