Last week, my rear deraileur went belly up. I took it to Taylors Bike Shop in Taylorsville to have it looked at/repaired etc.

They told me it needed replaced.

I have an entry level Navaro Forza road bike. It had entry level shimano components on it I am sure, but the shimano sticker has come off so I can't be sure of what model it was.

Anyway, they said they would replace it with a "middle of the road" shimano deraileur.

They installed a Shimano Alivio rear deraileur.

I looked that up on the shimano web site...and that is a 'mountain bike' component???

What gives? Should I take that right back in and have them put something else on? Does it matter? Seems to work ok...but it doesn't sit right with me?

Any advice?
