Shimano XTR M971 Traditional swing Front Derailleurs. Features: New adjust screws position for Easier reach for different frame designs Wide Link design for Best shifting performance

This XTR Dyna-Sys Double Front Derailleur FD-M985 is specifically designed for use with Shimano’s XTR Race Double Crankset and XTR 10-speed HG-X chain. The reason for the exclusivity is that the cage is shaped accordingly. It’s shorter than the cage on the triple compatible version. So while either derailleur can accommodate a 42t large chainring, this FD-M985 XTR derailleur won’t work well with the 24t small ring as the chain would drag across the cage bridge in many gear options on the cassette. It’s quite similar to the last generation 970 XTR derailleur, though the cage is a bit different. They don’t cut the XTR logo into the outermost plate any longer. Instead their time is spent notching the inner plate to remove extra material and save a few grams. And for what it’s worth, Shimano’s top swing derailleurs always tickle the scale a few grams lighter than their traditional counterparts, and this one’s no exception. The limit screws are angled to the outside to make adjustment easier on many of today’s complex rear suspension designs. The Shimano XTR Double Front Derailleur FD-M985 is a top swing design and is available with two mounting options — Multi-Clamp (28.6/31.8/34.9mm) and E-Type. The Multi-Clamp uses plastic shims to accommodate the two smaller seat tube diameters. The E-Type can be mounted from the bottom bracket shell using the included plate, or it may be mounted directly onto some frames or swingarms in what is commonly referred to as a low-direct mount.

Slow shifting is a bummer, and there are lots of reasons for it, but if you’ve eliminated derailleur problems, cassette issues, and general grime as the culprits, it might be time to replace your shift cables and housing with Shimano’s Dura-Ace OT-SP41 Polymer-Coated Derailleur Cable. The housing is pre-lubed with silicone grease for smooth, stick-free shifting, and the polymer coating on the cable allows it run even more smoothly. Even the end caps are sealed, which prevents dirt and grime from sneaking in and gunking up the system.

We’re proud to say that we still believe in mechanical shifting. And even though Di2 makes sense for when you’re locked into the time-trial-tuck, you simply can’t beat the feeling and reliability of ‘real’ shifting. That’s why the Shimano Dura-Ace SL-BSR1 11-Speed Bar End Shifters are the perfect addition to your wind-cutting steed. The aesthetics are stunning, the feel is unparalleled, and even better, all of the new additions work symbiotically to achieve the perfect harmony between your body and the bike. It’s too easy to go on and on about the SL-BSR1’s 11-Speed shifting option, and while it adds a powerful advantage over the field, we know that the new Dura-Ace shifters can’t be defined by one feature.AADwarfing all other advancements, however, is the shifting itself — this is where Shimano’s ‘Rider-Tuned’ philosophy really makes itself known. This is the title given to Shimano’s campaign of providing you the best rider-experience of your life. Throughout the group, every component has been given little custom touches, but the levers have received several. The the required effort has been lessened by around 47% for the rear derailleur and 43% for the front derailleur. In tandem with the reduced stroke, the shifting experience has been minimized to light touches that pit mechanical and Di2 shifting speed toe-to-toe against each other. Not surprisingly, the mad scientists at Shimano weren’t satisfied with simply making the smoothest mechanical shifting in their history. Instead, the bar was set even higher, and Shimano aimed to make the shifting effort seamless across every sprocket of the cassette. That’s right, effort has been equalized, regardless of if you’re moving across the bottom or moving across the top of the cassette. Even more obsessive, Shimano decided to also equalize the actual feeling of shift throughout the cassette.
