I wore out the pivot assembly on an XTR M95x. The upper pully was

I've never worn out a rear derailleur, although I have had to replace jockey
pulleys. Classic Campagnolo derailleurs, with bronze bushings, will last for
decades (I have a 1972 rear der that I'm still using). Modern indexed systems
have less tolerance for wear and may not last as long, but
I see this as a reaction against the big players (Shim, Camp, and
Sram). I believe there was a posting on the site that said it wouldnt
be too long before everything was 10 speed and 10 speed doesnt play

capacity of 29T and a max rear sprocket size of 27T. 2:1 pull ratio
