Can anyone tell me if the cable routing on 07 XTR rear derailluers would still benefit from a rollamajig?

Yeah, I'm a little disappointed since I just spent a small fortune on the whole M970 line. If I would have known that this new line was coming out, I would have waited...

Though, initial reviews of the shadow are not too good. Carbon fiber equipped derailleur seems to not be as robust on the trails as previous models... The design is beautiful though... We should see how the shadow does long term.

The Shadow is a 970 RD, but Shadows are new for '08 (introduced with 770 XT). Shimano had to keep something in the bag for the 25th Anniversary XT Launch and that was Shadow RD's and Servo-Wave levers. XTR gets Shadow as well (announced shortly after the XT M770 announcement) but not Servo-Wave yet.
