Pros & Cons
Pros
This shimano derailleur is durable and fits my trek well. The pulley not only pivots but the arm the cable goes into has rotation built into it.

If youre a weekend bike mechanic you may wish to look elsewhere unless you like a challenge

Because this derailleur doesnt come with set up instructions

So i originally had shortened the cable housing to be a straight shot to the derailleur

Because i needed more cable slack to run through the derailleurs cable path

But because of the pulley system that this one uses i found out fast it need to be an arc or a 34c34 shape for this to function right
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
In the first picture if you follow the cable from its end you can make out the 34c34 shape i mentioned
