Does anyone know if there's any difference between the new Deore M6100 12 SP derailleur and the new M5100 11 SP derailleur other than the 12 speed having more potential range?
With the new Deore 51T 11 speed cassette I'm thinking of ditching SRAM 12 SP (NX/GX not fun) and reviving my trusty old 11SP XTR shifter to go 11 SP Deore but I might buy the 6100 12SP derailleur for future insurance and because it's currently available.
Anyone see any flies in this ointment?
12SP/11SP chainrings seem to be the same so I could keep my existing SRAM GX crank/chainring (the only parts that seem to work effectively).
