NSW 11-42 compatible 10 speed rear mech

[quannum]

On the off chance someone has an okay condition 10 sp rear mech, let me know what you have before I just grab myself a new Deore.

I have a good condition Zee FR rear mech to swap/trade if that helps.

Item: 11-42 compatible 10 speed rear mech
Price: $30 ?
Location: Sydney
Extra Info: Decent condition

I've got a near new Deore m5120 10 speed rear derailleur.

The catch? It creaks with the clutch on and changing into larger cogs. It's done it since new. I've put Shimano grease into the clutch mechanism and it helps for a ride or two but comes back again.
It works well, just noisy. If you don't care for a silent bike, have I got the part for you!

Ooh, I might take you up on that, thanks @Labcanary

The internets suggest I may be able to run the Zee on 11-42 (due to hardtail) which I’m going to try first. I will let you know soon!

Costs you nothing to try! Hopefully it works

Zee won't like 42.... It's built on older geometry that officially maxes out at 36T, but can be teased out to fit under 40T. It won't go bigger.
