Maybe next year people will be saying how great this derailleur is. I honestly thought it was marketed as a '12 product, since I only saw it late this year around the time the new '12 XT launched and I got to demo it at Jenson. I guess that's how it is for consumers, who tend to hold off for reviews before buying something and insiders who get to see and ride things many months before others.

Best product is not always the most popular or favorite product. If I wanted to vote for favorite, I'd pick my Reverb, since I held off on getting one until this year.

So? Angleset!!! Grandfather that sucker in! I guess I chose to ignore the droppers until this year...not that I've officially acknowledged them yet. :D

Guys, the Angleset was introduced in 2010, and droppers have been around for several years

Thank you for not choosing the dropper-seatpost. Pretty cool innovation (derailleur), although I have to also give the nod to the CC Angleset as well.

p.s. - long-cage derailleur = slappity-slap.
