9 speed too precise?
KOMPRESSOR:
Why is it I have had to re-tweak the rear gear setup so often on 9spd XT. Yes the hanger is straight and cables are new. Now using 8sp and not suffering any probs. If Shimano go to 10sp on offroad bits its never gonna work beyond the shop door is it? ANYONE ELSE
John:
Did you give the cable a good tug outwards in the middle of a long run before final adjustment? I have Dura ace, Ultegra, 105, XT, LX and Déore on road, mountain and mountain tandem and they all work just fine.
timleg:
I have similar problems with slightly worn deore, will probably switch to 8 speed as I understand this is compatible

Hello,
Since last year all three of my bikes (Thorn) have been fitted with 8 speed as I cannot bear the messing about with narrow chains etc. 8 speed is great. I have stocked up with cassettes, rear gears and suchlike so that I can remain 8 speed for as long as possible!

Spotting that this post was started 3 years ago I thought: "maybe it deserves a reply... better late than never!"
I don't think 9 or 10 speed is too accurate, as long as your gear hanger is not damaged, mech is adjusted correctly and cable tension is spot on, it should give you years of accurate shifting.
