Component Compatability
I have a bike with mainly entry level components, deore and alivio, I don't care about weight but the shifting of the front deraileur, alivio, is terrible. If I buy an LX or XT deraileur will I see any improvement? Or would I need to upgrade more than just this part, ie, shifters, chain, crank? I know that the XTR is supposed to work best as a group but is it the same for the XT and LX?
Thanks for the help

from what *I* understand the LX, XT, and XTR are all the same design...just use different material to change the weight of the components.
