Considering gravity is at best theoretical, so are it's associated
calculations. So I'd say adorn the bike any way you wish, whatever the
"inner light" reveals. We all have an unfiltered and unquestionable
inherent sense of that.

I've thrown lots of money at this problem over the years... given this
list, I think many others have, too.
Unfortunately, there's a lot of personal preference, variety of needs among
different people, types of bikes, etc. Also, for me and others, there's the
desire to experiment. I think the f

I would suggest replacing the spring with from an XT or XTR. You can get a
new spring for $5 or so.
When I had too much slap and occasional thrown chain from an LX (which
worked fine otherwise), I switched to an XT derailer and the problems
disappeared. I assume it's mostly the chain tension t

Just so we know what we're talking about, here is the exploded view.
https://si.shimano.com/pdfs/ev/EV-RD-M580-2367.pdf
There is a spring that runs the body (2), and a spring that tensions the
cage (9).
As a Mechanical Engineer, if I had two of these, I'd take one apart just on
general principle.
So according to the drawing , *if* there's a 2nd hole for greater tension ,
it will be in the Outer Cage Assembly (part 10) ...which would allow the
cage tension spring (part 9) to be wound up more.

With the clutch on, shifting the chain is tight moving onto the big front
chainring of 52 while the rear is in certain positions, plus, to remove the
