Review on 🚲 Deore XT Rear Derailleur, 11-Speed, Black: Optimize Your Bike's Gear Shifting Performance by David Romero

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice clean rear derailleur shifters

My bike came with an 11 speed SLX rear derailleur and after a few years of service it lost the battle with the rock and had to be scrapped. I was about to buy another SLX but couldn't find one in stock so I spent a few bucks more on an XT. I also ordered a new rear derailleur hall from my bike manufacturer to keep things as simple as possible again. Installation was easy. A few adjustments with the stop screws and screw b to loosen my 46 tooth gear (e*thirteen TRS 9-46 cassette) and all was good. Shifts are clean and precise, the chains have not fallen off yet. I'm not sure I'd recommend it over the SLX unless you really want to be able to adjust the clutch on the fly, but it's still not that much more expensive so why not just go with it?

Pros
  • Rear derailleurs
Cons
  • Can't remember
