I have a busted Shimano acera (RD-M330). How you can make sure you pick the right derailleur to replace the busted one. Can I order a newer model (
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/M...?ModelID=38673) and be sure it will work fine? The older model is long cage also, but smaller pulley like 11 tooth. the freewheel/casette is 8 speed. (11-30)
