I was browsing the Shimano website, checking out specs of their XT and LX rear derailleurs. I noticed that there were 2 types, one with "GS" after the model no. and one with "SGS". What does that mean? They're both low-normal, and the only difference I saw was that SGS had a longer cage than GS.

That's it! The SGS will wrap up more chain slack.
