I think it is good your bike came with a rear derailleur.
If it gives you trouble in the future you can upgrade to one of the Deore models. Just be careful with the speeds.. You must have a 9 or less speed derailleur with any 9 or less speed drivetrain.
Interesting you brought that up, most of the bike is acera components, what would be involved to move up to Deore, and what would be the cost of the parts and labor?
Would i just upgrade the shifters, derailers (front and back) or something else as well?
