I think ****-man-no spends more money on their Deore parts than the more expensive ones - it's gota
take some serious research to find pivot/bushing materials that wear that fuecking quick. I have an
LX rear mech on now, and it's already lasted longer than the two Deore ones I had before put
together - same thing as with the front mechs - pivots wear giving too much slop for them to still
function correctly.
