SRAM GX rear derailleur vs X7?

My X7 10 speed is pretty worn out and getting a bit sloppy but they aren’t so easy to get nowadays….. I gather that the GX is effectively a replacement ???? Is this actually so ??? The same quality ??

Is it compatible with X5 shifters?

Would a change to shimano Deore be worthwhile??

i thought the GX was more like the X9..

AFAIK GX replaces both X7 and X9?

would it work ok with existing shifter does anyone know? shifter is x5 ??

Should do.

Fwiw my more recent x5 kit works better and has lasted longer than the old x5/x7 set up that preceeded it.

My gx 11 feels a bit better than my x9 type 2. Shifter feel on the gripshift is better too.

Ok… The GX is listed as a 2 X 10 ? My Bike has 3 X 10 ? I don’t understand why the GX is specifically listed as 2 X 10 ?? Surely the rear derailleur wouldn’t need to be specific to a 2 or 3 front?

Maybe they just don’t make triples any more?
