Just to close this loop, I bought an Acera derailler (surprisingly nice),
popped it on and it works perfectly. Didn't even really need to adjust
anything other than the limit screws. If anyone wants an LX rapid rise in
good shape, let me know.

Just don't index. I'm using the RR and the bar end shifters - both on
friction. Never needs adjusting. You adjust it each time you shift -
just like an old radio dial. My RR is one of my only original parts on my
bike 63,000 miles in.

Moving the shifter shouldn't be a problem, I suspect you simply don't have
quite what you need to index-shift that low-normal mech.

Interesting. Will moving the shifter location on the handlebar generally
require a cable adjustment? I’ve been playing quite a bit with where I want
those shifters.

Yes, all 6--9 speed road and mtn stuff adheres to the same cable pull
ratio.

Thanks all,
Yes, the shifters do friction and that's how it's being used now. Seems to
hold the gears fine in friction.
Follow up question. Is ALL shimano 9 speed the same? Road/MTN? Thinking I
may just pick up a 9 speed altus if the tinkering doesnt pan out.

Hi,
As a matter of fact, derailleur cables do not stretch. The forces involved in
shifting are many orders of magnitude lower than the yield stress required to
stretch the cable. What actually happens is that inside liner of the cable
housing wears and causes the cable to become looser.
Drew, These shifters have a friction mode, yes ? If they shift and hold
all the gears in friction, but not with indexing it would either be wonky
shifters or they are very sensitive to tension. The LX RR has a cable
tensioner yes ? Play around with it slightly as you're shifting and see
I have a limited knowledge of how all these parts work together but its my
understanding that Shimano 9 speed MTB rear derailleur is the same cable pull
as Shimano 10 speed road shifters. I am using a 10 speed Shimano bar end
shifter with a rapid rise XT rear derailleur and it indexes a 10
I cannot answer your question but I am having a similar problem on my Clem with
a Deore rear mech. I suspect cable stretch on this new bike?

Ok, so I had a rapid rise derailler around and all this talk from rivendell
got me to put it on my partner's bike that i'm building up. I can't for the
life of me get it to index correctly. Not saying the derailler is the
problem, but i've never had this issue with regular pull deraillers, so
