SRAM X.7 9-Speed Rear Derailleur Long Cage '11 (Grey) Review
Dont be put off by the el-cheapo appearance of the SRAM X.7 in the stock photo. This 7-8-9-speed model has an elegant steel cage with a lustrous black finish, and the body of the derailleur is a gorgeous metallic charcoal.Have not actually installed mine yet, but have been using nothing but SRAM RDs for the past 12,254 miles on my main ride, and have yet to replace a rear shifter cable. That is due largely to SRAM's brilliant method of securing the cable through a curved guide, which alleviates metal fatigue in the braid.
Will post some pics once I get this baby installed and report as well on general performance.
Update:
Well this derailleur performs even better than the previous X.7. Able to handle my new 36T cassette no problems. Along with a new SRAM 991 CrossStep chain, my drive train runs so smooth and quietly now, it's like being on a completely new bike. Unfortunately when I was removing my greasy finger prints from the components with denatured alcohol, I inadvertently wiped the SRAM logo off the derailleur cage. So no photos, I'm too embarrassed over my blunder.
