XT M772 Shadow 9-Speed Rear Derailleur
Introducing the Shimano Shadow Rear Derailleur Like the latest XTR, options are the emphasis of the new Deore XT. The debut of the Shimano Shadow RD yields a third rear derailleur option, joining the Top-Normal and Low-Normal versions. A Shadow RD places priority on a low profile design and less body movement for those enthusiasts that are most at home on extreme technical trails.
- Top normal spring design to mesh with the more common choice of RapidFire shifters for trail / all-mountain riding
- In high gear, the derailleur has a profile that is a full 15mm less than a traditional rear derailleur. That means it barely protrudes more than the quick release skewer nut.
- Direct cable routing reduces the chance of the cable snagging on roots and rocks.
- Stronger spring keeps the derailleur body more stable in rough terrain.
- Redesigned bracket axle keeps the derailleur body from contacting the chainstay.
- Available in medium and long cage
- 235g

A.
anwered by: canteau
If you are using a single or double chainring set up in front it will work fine. It won't take up enough chain to be run with a triple.
