If you have an XT 12-inch, you can use it As a replacement for the SLX version, speed RD is available. This is not a problem. One thing they have in common is that they are both 12-year-olds It is fast.
For 51T there are 12 pins of one type and for 45T, there are 12 pins of another type, so I would pick the correct pin for each one.
Yeah, I have no doubt However, it would be equivalent to asking if if you were sitting in a car can people on the outside of it push you down the road. Can be done, but it is best to buy a newer 7 or 8 instead- On Ebay, you can get a speed derailleur They will be far more effective with a friction shifter because they were designed to handle bigger jumps. The cost of those is
This is likely to be the case. A Shimano M8000 derailleur can handle a cassette with a diameter of 50T without any problems. Due to the fact that it was made for 51T, a 52T cassette should be a piece of cake for this. The length of the chain should be read in the instructions. The chain is used more extensively with these derailleurs. It uses 2 to 4 links more than any other derailleur. When you have an 11-speed system, you will speed up Whether it is a speed shifter or not. However, the 12 speed set is a definite plus- I appreciate it!)

With this 12 gear derailleur you need to use a Shimano SLX 11 speed shifter and 11-speed ring and cassette. This cassette is part of the 51 SunRace series.
It was broken when it was shipped. As a matter of fact, I went ahead and installed the derailleur since my old one was broken and as a mountain biker I "needed" to ride. The broken piece is more of a hassle than anything else. Within the box, there was a separate bag for the broken lever switch piece. Here is a screenshot of (1). My first thought was that it must have been a broken piece, since I found where it was broken from right away. A new one would be available in 2 weeks and I didn't want to wait another 2 weeks for it. As soon as it was installed, it worked very well, and it shipped sooner than expected, to their credit. In any case, it didn't break in transit. Did this product not receive a thorough inspection after being returned? It's not that important to me.
There is simply no competition in terms of quality for Shimano's XT derailleur. This is a very precise, smooth and strong verb. As far as I can tell, it can take more abuse than an XTR one. Taking care of the clutch is the only thing you have to do, be sure to clean it once in a while and apply some waterproof grease (check out instructions on Youtube for more info).
You got it! One of the best long cage SGS 1x12 XT derailleurs around! Your help is much appreciated! There was only one stockist of it you guys were the only ones. I'm not sure what more you can ask for. What it says on the box is true!.
This derailleur is new and in its original.
A fantastic product that I would strongly recommend. I have converted my bike from 3x7 to 1x12.
My derailleur has been used about 740 miles so far. As far as it works, it works great - but about 250 miles and 700 miles, the clutch on my unit "stuck" and the cage stayed in the down position when shifting to a harder gear or smaller Putting these two things together created a huge amount This can be resolved by disengaging the clutch (flipping the lever to the off position) at the trailside. The cam stabilizer (item 7) and the back end of the plate axle (item 10) need to be greased to fix the problem if you experience the same issue. In fact, I have done this twice now and the second time I was greeted by a bunch of black gunk that appeared to have built up on the cam unit and strap (I neglected to take a picture). Since ordering a replacement cam unit and stabilizer, my problem is fixed. We can only hope that these solutions will address the issue.
