Very Pleased With New Clutched Derailleur

[reed scott]

Never had such before and didn't know anything about them. They seem to really work however. Mine is a lowly Deore and I'm getting absolutely no chain slap. I had been thinking about swapping out my stock 40 tooth Bafang chainring to a Narrow Wide but now I don't think I need it. Of course I haven't done any wild down hill but I have ridden pretty fast over some really rough rocky sections of dirt road.

What is “lowly” about it? Deore is considered a very decent, if not quality derailleur by most standards.

Yeah I know but there are like six (?) higher specd derailleurs above Deore.

........and there are seven below it!

OK OK I should have said 'middle class' or 'common'.
