XTR M960 = 10.4g
SRP Al = 6g

4.4g saved.

Anyone else have a stressful time replacing their mech bolt?!

When replacing the bolt use a zip tie to hold the b tension plate to the mech body. Without a zip tie, the b tension plate pops out and the spring unwinds. It is an absolute pig to get back. The zip tie method makes replacing the bolt really easy.
Now you tell us...lolTracker

I just did this last night and it to was a pain to get back. I didnt realize the amount of difference in the spring tension compared to my old XTR rear Der as to the new Dura Ace one.

Took a bit of monkeying around.
