I've used it for about two weeks now, so this isn't going to be a long-term
review. So far, it upshifts maybe a tad slower when compared to the Shimano XT
11-42 it replaced, but the dowshifts are on par with its predecessor. With my
current setup (X1 RD, X1 chain), I only had to add a couple of chain links and
drive the B tension screw in a few turns, the upper and lower limit screws
remained untouched.
The bummer part comes from chain falling from the 46t if I backpedal more than
a quarter of a turn, but that also happened with the XT, so I blame it on my
chain line. I might try placing a half-width spacer between the BB and the
shell on each side instead of having a single one on the drive side.
