General Information
Similar to Alpha T Ref10071 rear derailleur. One difference is that the Alpha T has a steel inner pulley cage plate, whereas the SX2 has a plastic inner pulley cage plate. Yes, it is lightweight (the only metal part are the paralellogram plates and bolts). And: There is a real standard hanger bolt with M10x1 mm, different than all the previous 60s, 70s and 80s models. It can also be noticed that there is a third adjustment screw in the same direction as the limit screws just above the attachment bolt. It seems to be designed to adjust teh distance to the largest sprocket but I do not know how that should work. This is also not the 3rd screw as with so many of other rear derailleurs to adjust the chain wrap (which is however perpendicular in direction to the upper and lower limit screws)
