Keep in mind, my rig is still a 10 speed, and it may remain forever ... as I can't seem to find a good reason to mess with it for the time being.
Yesterday while trying to connect some more trails out back, I managed to fall over the bars 3 or 4 times! Lol. All very slow speed, but some rather hard on the bike and me.
Anyway, I bent the rd-m8000-SG pretty good. so good in fact, that while trying to achieve high gear, the mech cable attachment arm was grinding itself into the large cog. The great part about this, is that the derailleur was otherwise operating normally. I didn't even know that the thing was bent while on the trail, and didn't notice until I hit the road, heading down to the Creek, and tried to achieve high gear.
When I couldn't get high gear, I looked down and could see the derailleur rubbing against the largest cog. I grabbed it and bent it away from the cassette, and now it's working like new again.
I am really becoming a 10 speed fanboy. So many good options, at reasonable prices, and everything is easy to find.
