It just feels VERY stiff from new and never mellowed with mileage. It feels very cheap and requires a disproportionate amount of effort, I much prefer Deore or SLX but that's way too working class for me (joke, -ish). I think I set it up well and it shifts very well indeed, just the amount of finger work seems crazy.
Anyway, I am running an X01 cassette and chain so perhaps that's the reason?
With the Merlin discount, a X01 shifter and rear mech is £160 and I can probably get half that back from selling the barely used shifter and XT rear mech. Would it feel better and less hard work?
Cheers!
Mine don’t feel like that. Light, positive action despite one being on its original stock cable and SP41 outer from over 5 years ago.
Doesn’t sound right.
Drop me a message if you do decide to move the Shimano stuff on. I might know someone who is keen to buy.
