[Johnny 55]

Hi, im not sure if my deraileur has a clutch or not. I want to upgrade to x1. This is the code on it. xt rdm781. Thanks.

[ALLMTB]

Nope, does not have a clutch. The model number for the derailleur fitter with a clutch is rd-m786

There is few rear derailleurs with a clutch in the classified section for below R1000.00

That's 11spd.  OP has 10.

Doesn't matter - shifting gears are dictated by the shifter, the derailleur just follows the cable tension.

Noooo you didn't just say that

For 10sp clutch, get the Zee. It's available in a wide range version and R700 from Easybike or CRC(roundabout). Well, at least what I'd do if a wanted a new one

And so yet another friday fred is started...

I'm running a 1x10 setup with a sunrace 42-11 cassette.

 

Even with the longer B screw, my 10 speed XTR derailleur battled to handle the larger diameter cogs (Shimano literature specs the derailleur for 36T max).

 

I did some reading into the subject and the new M9000 XTR rear derailleur (11 speed) is designed for the larger gear ratios and shifts with a curvature through the upwards gear changes, which allows it to handle up to 46T.

 

I purchased a M9000 rear derailler and fitted it to my 10 speed drivetrain (10 speed cassette, chain and shifter) and the shifting is smooth and crisp. The derailleur simply follows the shifter cable pull, so it only shifts 10 gears as that is the allowance in terms of cable pull. I don't see why the SLX version wouldn't work in this case?

 

Should I ever decide to upgrade to 11 speed, I just need to replace cassette, chain and shifter and off I go.

Have you ever heard of the phrase 'false equivalence?'

If you want to go 1x it isn't strictly necessary to have a clutch. You could use your existing derailleur. I have been running 1x9 since December with a N/W chainring and the chain has only come off once. In that instance I was pedaling backwards so think chainline was more the cause than tension.
