wanting a slx rear der for my gt i-drive 2.0 but dont know which to get.
The m663-10 long cage shadow top normal
the m662 gs top normal shadow short cage or
the m662 sgs top normal.
Wil b running 9 speed slx shifters
 
I use an 11 / 34 on the rear and a 22 / 34 on th efront and use a medium cage, keeps the chain nice and tight. long cages get in the way of rocks too much :cry:
 
I'm guessing the M663-10 is a 10 speed mech...... ang on, why am I guessing when I could just google it :LOL: .

The M663-10 IS a 10 speed mech and won't work with 9 speed shifters. This new 10 speed stuff has a different actuation ratio :roll: .

Yup, only 10 speed MTB shifters will work with that rear mech

dirtydozen you will have to use a Shimano 9 speed rear mech with the Shimano SLX shifters
