The smaller cassettes work much better with this derailer.
I often substitute a non-floating top pully to restore the shifting resolution with 10sp 11-28t cassettes so as to extend the service interval. It makes a huge difference in terms of shifting response and cable adjustment range.
interesting. I've had an 11-28 put on my bike and wasn't completely happy with it - this may be contributing as I've already changed chains once.
But what's a non-floating top pully ? It's a 3rd-party, non-Shimano product ? How does this help? Any recommendations for which one if I want to try this ?
Thanks
