Does speed matter for front derailleur?
The number of rear speeds (the 9 in 2×9) marked for a front derailleur isn’t too important, but the cage of the derailleur may be thinner for higher number of rear speeds (so if your chain isn’t designed for high enough speeds, you may have some rubbing on the cage, especially if you don’t adjust it properly) — as …
What happens if front derailleur too high?
Most front derailleurs can be adjusted for height and rotation. If the cage is set too high over the largest ring, it may not perform well. Too high a cage can cause a slow shift, and can allow the chain to shift over the largest ring. This helps push the chain to disengage it so it can make the shift.
Can you use XTR shifter with XT derailleur?
The 12 speed XT and XTR shifters have zero difference in function. The difference happens at SLX with no multi-release. I have both XT and XTR. They both can shift up to two gears at once to smaller cogs and up to four at once to larger cogs, no difference in feel or function.

When did the new Shimano XTR drivetrain come out?

What’s the difference between SRAM Eagle and XTR?
The XTR shifter has a very pronounced reassuring feel when I push the paddle, always letting me know it’s engaging. Compared to SRAM Eagle, instead of a “click” like a computer mouse, there is a slightly harder push to get the shifter to engage. However, that push of the shifter results in a more affirmative and solid shift as well.
When did the Shimano XTR m9100 come out?
I’m not going to dive into all the new tech with the M9100 as that was meticulously covered by Chilidog at the Shimano XTR launch back in June of 2018, so we’ll just get right to our experiences over the last year and a half riding multiple XTR groups on different bikes.
