For those of you who are running RD-M960s with friction shifters, are any of you using them with a Road Link and a cassette with a 40t or larger big cog? I'm running this exact config on my Homer and I'm not pleased with the shifting experience. Shifting to the middle rings results in what

Thanks for the clarification, Robert. It's nice to have someone with the *actually* f*actual* cred chime in. And also delighted to know that I'm not wasting all that effort as I put the horse up at the end of the day. Jock On Sat, Feb 3, 2024 at 7:19 PM Ron Mc wrote: > I'm a metallurgist and

I'm a metallurgist and licensed PE - relaxing RD spring absolutely extends spring life. OP's question - Microshift R10 (made by Sun XCD) https://www.charlottecycles.com/product/microshift-r10-rear-derailleur-377496-1.htm On Friday, February 2, 2024 at 11:08:38 AM UTC-6 John Dewey wrote: >

Robert, I've been shifting with XT M760 RR on JD bikes for many years. No derailleur envy or interest in experimenting with other systems. I collected them and so very happy I did. They were plentiful and reasonably priced...until they weren't. Grant is now building RR rear mechs, too, as I bet

I recently installed a *Shimano XTR RD-M960 SGS* on my Platypus and it feels fantastic with the Suntour power ratchet (there is no ferrule on the cable here bc I wanted to wrap the chainstay first) On Friday, February 2, 2024 at 9:34:41 AM UTC-5 rmro...@gmail.com wrote: > This one. My first

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone could make a recommendation on which Shimano 9 speed rapid rise derailleur you have had the best experience with and which has sufficient amounts of silver on it to look ok. Robert Blunt Pennington NJ -- You received this message because you are
