If you want to drop down to a 7 speed cassette, SRAM has a 12-32 that I use
with a spacer on a Shimano 105 hub.

Not quite, although for a while it sure did look that way.
The only 8 speed cassette whose demise I jpersonally mourned, the 12-32,
is back from SunRace.
Something I wish I was told about 5 years ago!! hahahaha! ;)

Bill's call is a good one. I spared my 8-sp Record cassette when it was at
closeout prices. All my Brooks Select saddles are spared, and were bought
on closeout, each right around $100. Keep an eye on the closeout stuff and
buy a couple of it's something you know you're going to use.

I'm a mechanic, and I understand how things work. I think that is the
reason why I have several different shifter types on different bikes of
mine and have no problem remembering how to shift each of them. I can use
high-normal and low-normal without freaking out.
Regarding low normal Shima
I had one of those RDs on a commuter, it died way early of unsafe
sloppiness, its parallelogram pivots wearing and the cage taking on an
inward tilt under chain tension, close to shifting the chain over the
biggest cog. I also had to replace the jockey wheels which were the only
time I ever had
Thanks. Misery loves company, ya know. ;)

Wasn't there talk once of Riv making a Silver-branded derailleur where the
spring in the parallelogram could be reversed, so it would work either
way? I'm sure it was a long shot.
I hated rapid-rise but, as others note, it's just what you get used to.
Look for the deore xt or xtr mountain bi
I'm with you, dt. I love my low-normal RD and wish I had one on all my

and to show you just how much I don't remember, got it backwards - both
levers were pull for lower gearing, push for taller.

way back, SunTour V was the opposite - both FD and RD were pull for taller
gearing, push for lower. So when I replaced that FD with Shimano 600, I
first had the same reaction in reverse. If it makes you feel any better,
after 40 years, I can't remember why.
