Saint 820 cage?
- Thread starter HAB

For some reason, I thought Shimano was not into selling parts like that separately. Seems like the only you can get are the pulleys.
If price is not a problem, this one is considerably better.

For a DH Bike?
The RADr cage is longer but gives you better wrap around the cassette so why not? Better than an XT cage IMO.
you should be able to get it by calling shimano. not sure if they will talk to anybody though. you might have to get your lbs to contact shimano. usually they will either send a part or just warranty the whole thing.
If the OP is running a close ratio cassette, as is common in DH bikes, this is not the best plan. The radr cage makes the upper pulley travel at a greater angle to the horizontal to better track the profile of wide ratio cassettes. On a road cassette, you're going to get crappy shifting in the bigger sprockets & have to run more b-tension than normal.
Finding those small parts can be a PITA, I googled "shimano saint m820 inner plate" and then clicked on "images" and then followed the link of the pic to a UK site that sells 'em : http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/shimano-saint-rd-m820-outer-plate-assembly-ss-type-5y2-9817-prod34456/?geoc=us
But...
Couldn't you just buy a ZEE and just use the cage plates off that?
