Has anyone got hold of this yet?
I want to know there's any chance of the XT Linkglide derailleur working with a Deore M5100 11-51 11 speed cassette. The Deore is already pretty heavy, but the XT Linkglide is 250g heavier.
I know Shimano says it won't, but has anyone tried?

Kind of defeats the purpose of linkglide if you don't use the cassette and chain

Didn't know the the 8000 would reach the 51.
I just went the full 5100 group, but the derailleur has been less than durable.
