If you are interested in specifics for whatever derailleur you have, you might post which derailleur you have and not just "it's a Shimano Deore" be specific so someone could help you effectively. Like Trek FXs, Shimano makes changes and different models to the same level.
Ok. It's too late tonight. I'll try to supply more information in the AM. What specifics would you need? Unfortunately, the seller couldn't tell me which year the bike is. I took a picture of the serial number if that helps. Since it's a newer model the trek vintage site was no help. Is there another way to supply you with the info.you would need?
For the record I have realigned and tuned up derailleurs before that were maladjusted.
