I've searched around a bit, but can't find an answer to this specific compatibility question.
I had to send a Shimano XT RD-M8100 rear derailleur back for service and to make a long story short it has been lost. Shimano is telling me that they won't even have parts until late February at best so I'm just going to order another while that gets sorted. I'm using this with an SLX shifter and I'm not crazy about the way it feels, so I was thinking I might just try something different like GX.
I don't want to swap the whole drivetrain though as the SLX cassette and chainring are still low mileage. I'm wondering if I can keep these and use a Sram GX derailleur and possibly shifter? I could go either way with the chain.
Anyone know if these drivetrain components compatible like this? Would they work well mixing & matching any of it or is this a case where only some or even none of them will work across brands?
TIA!
