What the heck is the difference???
Can someone tell me the difference between these XTR rear derailleurs? RD-M972-GS and SGS. I can see that they're different in pictures but features make them different. I can't seem to find the answer on the Shimano site.
Thanks,
Mike

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please-
The difference is in the jockey cage length. Also specified in teeth capacity.
GS is mid length. SGS is the long cage version, which wraps more chain - needed if when you have a wide gear range like 22/34/44 front and 11/34 rear

i think the diff is cage lenght, the gs has a lower "capacity" than the sgs, the sgs looks like the long cage version,

It will still fit in the trunk of your '67 Chevelle.

LOL, Doug!
Still lust for a SS396.
My mom had a '66 Nova , plain stock, bench seat, auto on the tree, basically unassuming by all appearances. The fact that it had (surprise!) a 327 was pretty much lost on her. But I knew better!

I knew it would be something that I was looking at but not seeing. I guess that's what I get for trying to rush surf the net before clocking out at work. Mind was on other things.
Thanks all,
Mike
