Hi
I've just broken my existing rear mech a Shimano XT RD-M772 shadow, the top jockey wheel bolt has threaded the arm. Was thinking of getting a new one sometime soon anyway as both jockey wheels are worn and getting sharp....
....So my question after looking into a replacement it seems that the M772's don't get a very good write up anyway...and similar models also get the same poor ratings. So are they "not what they used to be!" Can anyone suggest an XT model, 9 speed that is better than the others? Or should I stump up the eXTRa for XTR?
Rest of the drivetrain is XT but shifters LX
All advice appreciated
