I was just looking at Sheldon's Dura Ace compatibility chart (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/dura-ace.html) and it made mention of a 10 spd Shadow MTB rear derailleur that is compatible only with a 10 speed Shadow shifter. Is there any chance this could be one of those? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
