Just got the new Saint RD-M810 SS in today's mail. As a connoisseur and destroyer of rear derailleurs, I can appreciate the burly new construction. Kudos to Shimano for the robust design and still keeping the weight to a modest 237g. The spring is insanely strong and will take an iron thumb to shift... but goodbye chain slap. I'm looking forward to the mode conversion for my Ultegra 6500 12-27 cassette with its tight gearing ratio.
I will give an updated report after some trail testing at Åre Bike Park (Sweden) next weekend.
