Hi Alan, that derailleur is an sgs right? Can it handle cross chaining, i know your not supposed to but it does happen to me so i want to be sure my derailleur does not snap off. And you mentioned slightly harder to shift with the clutch on, there is a switch on the derailleur and that is what i plan on doing when going on and off road but the shifting is crisp and accurate in general right. Is the harder shifting and both ends or just one, i would imagine it would influence the front mostly. Or is it just a harder lever pull?
