The Microshifter is sweet.. but the XT spring is a real pain in the ass to shift. After 1/2h I almost have blisters on my thumb !!!! It certainly is not for flipping back and forth between gears, more like - dial a gear and keep pedaling..

Very happy with the setup, especially since got XT from craigslist. Previous owner forgot to mention that he tried and managed to strip threads from the screw mounting into the chainstays. (Since he was kind to forgot it and told me that mech is 100% good, did not matched his shifter.. right ! I hope he a bit crossthreaded also his frame...). Well, a $12 part fixed that - since this is a replaceable item on XT and above..

The DynaSys compatibility is great. I can swap wheels between Troll ( 26") and KM (29").
