Deore and SLX with Shadow are a good stuff. Deore XT which is even better not shown. XTR which is top class not shown.

The variations shown makes me wonder if all the derailleur's had a clutch and/or whether it was engaged. My bike has a Shimano Deore derailleur which has a clutch but I do not feel the need to use it on the conditions I ride.

I cannot watch facebook, they want my birthdate to participate. I have noticed 6 speed Shimano broke the axle under my enormous 180 lb. No curbs, rocks or picnic tables jumped. 7 speed shimano the cone came unscrewed and allowed the balls to drop on the road. No locknut. I cannot tell deore from anything else Shimano by looking at it, but the cheap shimano product sold in $200 kiddie bikes is just that, cheap. OTOH, the 8 speed shimano derailleur installed on my $1800 yuba bodaboda has been 12000 miles without fault. Yuba went to the expense of installing SRAM shifters and takeup which lasted 5000 miles on the front and until I ran a stick through it on garbage day on the rear. .

yes, they said it was on. ya, I don't use them for the most part. it makes it more work to shift.

Yes it does but at least the chain does not drop from the chainring.

I don't get that now that I have narrow/wide chainrings.

Sophisticated chairings are one of the measures (SRAM doesn't use derailleur clutches, for one) but the derailleur clutch is a good protection against the chain bouncing in rough terrain.
