    You know, I looked at my shifter just now and it’s actually XTR. The rest is as stated. 😂

    Yeah, I think it’s the mechanical manufacturing precision that takes a great derailleur system like SLX, XT and gets it that extra step to feel magical. With that said, it’s very impressive how good the cheap stuff is these days too. CUES is quite something for the price.

      I actually have a SRAM NX Eagle on my Trek Rail right now. That thing eats derailleurs and hangers for breakfast, and the bike shop guy was like legit these are lasting a long time. Hes right btw, it’s lasted, but it shifts so rough, like I’ve tasted the dark side and I want back in
