Does anyone know the hierarchy of SRAM rear derailleurs? (a list of their derailleurs from worst to best). I do not know SRAM stuff at all. Predominantly, is a X-0 or X-9 the better rear derailleur and how much better is it?

x.0 is top of the line. then x.9, x.7, and so forth on down the line.

I believe that the only difference between x.9 and x.0 is weight, x.0 being lighter as portions of it are made from carbon fiber.

There's a little more to it than that, X.0 has fancier materials in the pivots and stuff like that, so it should *theoretically* be a little smoother/ more durable. Real world, I don't think there's actually much difference at all.

Maybe more durable if you don't ever actually ride it off-road :biggrin:
