Shimano SLX m675 shadow+ 10 speed rear mech broken - tips on repairs or replacement?

[Gustav123]

Good evening dear forum participants,

I have a Giant Reign 1 from 2013 with a Shimano SLX m675 shadow+ 10 speed rear mech.

Today as my wife took it for a spin, a sprint fell out and we can't find it again (see attached pictures).

I tried to find the piece online, but no luck. Is this due to COVID-19 confinement and poor deliveries from Japan, or should I expect this piece to be permanently out of stock?

Any tips on how to repair it, or what more recent rear mech would work as a replacement?

Thanks,

Gustav

Spring?

Sorry, a bolt, or perhaps you'd call it a pin!

Bit late, But, you can't 'repair' them or get those "roll pins".

Time for a new one.

Awesome, thanks for your reply. I thought as much. I haven't been able to source that model anywhere on the Internet; all providers appear to be out of stock. What would be a good replacement model of the Shimano SLX m675 shadow+ 10sp derailleur/rear mech? Thanks, Gustav

Any Shimano 10spd mtb mech will fit - the shadow bit just means that it sits more tucked into the frame than the normal ones. You'll need a long cage version if you have a cassette with a big tooth count

Upgrade to XT for the bling !

Any of them will be perfect.

Shadow + mech ar the one's that you can lock to keep the chain tight ..
