[RBW] Re: Short Cage Rear Derailleur Recommendations.
David, I run the new Ultegra short cage on my Ram with 44/30 11-28 9 spd set up with DT friction. It is the best shifting setup I have used in 35 years of cycling, an that includes Ultegra SIS.

I ran a Shimano 600EX on 5-8-speed friction applications and really loved it. When I widened my rear, I found a NOS Cyclone GT. It's in a spanish cedar cigar box in my garage now - Many miles, but still works great. I had it on my Moser before I found a Campy Chorus. At 190g, the Arabesque is lighter than anything except the carbon Campys, and then only 10g heavier. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v728/bulldog1935/Raleigh/F%20Moser/aP5190022.jpg On Thursday, April 3, 2014 8:40:38 AM UTC-5, Michael Hechmer wrote: David, I run the new Ultegra short cage on my Ram with 44/30 11-28 9 spd set up with DT friction.

I've used various silver shortcage Shimano derailers from the mid-90's onward which work well, look nice, and can be had for not too much money (as long as you avoid new-in-package from crazy people who think they're vintage and rare). A search for Shimano 9-speed road will bring up a good selection. Joe Bernard Vallejo, CA.
