I'm shocked about the rate the shifter's have been breaking on me, first last 3mo, second 2mo, third 1mo. All have failed in exactly the same way, same small spring every time. Wish I was a watchmaker so I could replace it. my 11spd xtr is 5yrs old and still perfect. actually have gone back to my 11spd xt/xtr w/sram cassette because I can't deal with all this stuff breaking.
Cranks are the non series mt900. seriously light at 495g without chainring. chainline is 52mm. have the same problem with the backpeadaling on 11spd shimano cassettes too. Odd the deore does use a fixed spider and utilize the bolts holding the chainring together, you'd think that'd be cheaper.
