same bike, two rear derailleur options...
#1
i can get the exact same bike with either of these two rear derailleurs, the first one is rd-m591, deore series, which is supposed to be better than the second option, the rd-m2000 which belongs to altus series. However something tells me that this particular deore is outdated and worse than the altus one... i now its just a cheap little thingy but i have gotten paranoid and i keep googling like a maniac about which one to get

Hi.
M2000 derailleurs are just above the Tourney groupset and the composition is of cheaper materials, so Deore's sturdier M591 is certainly my choice. However, M2000 has Shadow which is a plus. All in all, it's $10 difference so just go with your gut Smile

Is the Google saying something bad about the M591?
