Is the R8000 rear derailleur worth the extra over an R7000/6800/5800 on a normal road bike? For practical reasons, not buyer logic
The (unofficial) capacity is significantly larger isn't it? To the point you can get away with 11-40. Otherwise they're the functionally the same?
With very few exemptions, the only difference between Shimano 11 speed components of the same generation is weight.
the only difference is weight grams
FTFY
Thanks, I'll save my pennies and get the cheap one (also thanks to Tester)
