Thanks!
It is hard to improve upon the Shimano Shadow rear derailleur. The Enduro are smooth but a little noisy compared to the original. I have to wait until they are broken in. A little dirt should help.

A little dirt should help. No , you don't need a little or a bit of dirt in there coz if you do, you end up calling your bearings "CERANICO BEARINGS" (ruined bearings)! |

 Comparo. For the Shadow rear derailleur, they used sealed bearings. While, Enduro created their own pulleys instead of pressing in ceramic bearings on existing pulley. Tsk tsk tsk... |

Cont... There is not much for the Weight Weenies ;D That is if you have a Shadow rear mech. Shimano truly did their homework on this. However, it looks like the seals are better on the Enduro. Only time will tell.   |

So far, my XTR Shadow is holding it's mechanism very well..but I notice that the xtr pulley's tooth are easy to wear..got to change that twice already. (showing the wearing effect of overwork , lol!)

I guess that's one of the main reasons why I don't want to overtrain myself ;D but in contrast to overtraining, overreaching describes a temporary decline in performance. On the other hand, make sure to include the correct amount of recovery. Does this make sense? I don't know, I'm going to eat my pancakes, sausage, bacon and eggs now. hahaha I'm recovering today as we speak from yesterday's training. ;D    |
