• I see, that's pretty good to know.

    Is there such thing as a Shimano 9sp mech with a clutch?

    I have 6600 shifters I could use for CX. I have the mech too but wonder if a 9sp MTB mech has any advantages? Less chain-suck?

    The biggest difference I've notice is the narrow/wide chainring, I have a long cage derailleur on normal cassette (11-28) and never even got any chain slap.

    IMHO I don't think it's a problem for road bicycle, even CX, it's more pronounced on MTB to the point they need a clutch.
