fitting long cage rear derailleur

[fossyant]

You don't have to go for an ultegra derailleur a 105 one will work perfectly fine and will be a bit cheaper too.

How dare you, needs Dura Ace.

 

[fossyant]

No you dont.

I see not many parts, all old stock.

There are other places to get them from. The answer to the OP question is you dont need to buy a complete derailier.

If you check that link, they're all for SRAM parts, not Shimano.

A 9 speed XT derailleur will also work perfectly.

Needs a phone call to SJS then.. but depends on price - I've found it cheaper to buy the full part.

PS I doubt you'd find parts for @dan_bo 's rear mech from saturday's MTB ride... never seen a mech so mangled.

(replying to Derrick) Nor does it mean your answer is sensible, helpful or practical.
A new rear mech solves the problem. Finding the correct replacements (if they are available) and then dismantling the mech, reassembling it, refitting and then setting it up is a pain, and not worth the possible cost savings.
