It should work fine. Although, I was just thinking today that I've never had a better shifting derailleur than the Deore LX on my Bleriot (8 speed w/friction). Not nearly as cool looking as that XTR but It is so smooth and requires absolutely no thought to get it in the correct gear... (perfect for my brain!). I just stumbled onto an Ebay auction for them with a buy it now of $20...search SHIMANO DEORE LX RD- T661... and bought one for my Rambouilllet...GOOD BYE reverse action! No idea who the seller is, or if it will show up, but it looks legit.
