Any normal 9 speed MTB derailleur will work, make sure you select the long cage option of the M771.
I recently went 1x11, actually great for cities, just waiting for the SRAM 11-36 to try with the 5800 derailleur.

Any 9 speed MTB rear mech should be fine. An M592 Deore rear mech will work, but it's only an extra tenner for the XT spec M771. I used an M771 with 6700 shifters and it all worked rather nicely.

Right - I'm looking to make my Croix de Fer 1x10 because I robbed the 5800 group that was in place for another bike, so need a new cassette for the CdF and thought I might as well go 1x10 while I'm at it.
PG1030 11-36 cassette, right? What mechs will work with a 6600 shifter? Consensus online seems to be M771 work well, and M772 don't. Will anything pre-M771 work? I know fuck all about MTB mechs, but the word 'dynasys' keeps getting mentioned as something that doesn't play well (different cable pull).
