I (stupidly) ordered the long arm 11 spped derailleur, and set it up just like the directions said, and suffered HARD shifting. My left hand got muscles from pushing the 1,487 pounds force required to shift!
Then nirvanna hit when I replaced it with the short arm version - kept the same slick cable. Even though the set-up was finicky, it now shifts 85% as well as the 9-10 speed Ultegra derailleurs of old. Why did Shimano have to change a perfect design?
Summary - if you have the long arm version, it's range is about 25 yards if you throw it real hard. Get the short arm one!
