Re: [RBW] Low Normal Derailers

[Patrick Moore]

I've used the low-normal LX that came with my Sam HIll, pulled by Silver
BES.. It was perhaps the most precise rd I've ever used -- when I swapped
with an 8-sp era XT I had to learn how to use a coarser mech all over
again. But I didn't like the reverse pull and traded it for said XT.

I'll be with such a precise rd and, say, Simplex retrofrictions, you could
shift 11 speeds in friction!

 The nice thing would be that moving both Silver Shifters in the same
 direction would downshift, making it easier to pedal on climbs.  Also, if
 your cable breaks, down you go to first gear rather than ninth (or
 eighteenth or whatever).

Not sure exactly what you are asking, but I've used them.   I have one on
my folding bike.  They work, but having just one set up that way makes it
awkward, for me at least.

It really is just all in what you get used to.
