Notes from MyBikeThing Deore LX was the sweet spot of the 8-speed MTB era — better quality than Deore, lighter than XT. The M565 is a proven, reliable front mech that’s easy to set up and runs clean. Good replacement or upgrade for any 8-speed triple MTB build.
Workshop Wisdom Top pull setup requires your cable to route from above — if your frame has a bottom pull stop only, you’ll need a cable guide or a dual-pull model. Set the high and low limit screws before tensioning cable.
Guarantee You put in the miles, we put in the work! 30 day Guarantee, rest assured of fit, function and condition 🙂
