The mid-range Shimano stuff tends to work great and to be excellent value. The upper end stuff tends to work great and be a less outstanding value. As with all things one may hit diminishing returns. The higher end stuff may last longer, but a Deore derailleur will probably last you 20 years.
It's *your* bike. If you like how the Deore works and looks, use it! On Jun 16, 2011, at 7:02 PM, Scotty wrote: > On My Surly I have the Deore rear derailer and it has performed > flawlessly.
