I have a low normal RD on my LHT used with friction downtube Simplex
shifters and 8speed cassette. I have said here before that the 8 speed
shifting is too easy, and I will likely replace it with 9speed when I wear
out this chain.
I do like it on a touring bike; if the cable ever broke it
I used one with Silver bar-end shifters and never quite overcame the ingrained
memory from using Suntour Bar-coms but it did shift crisply. I tried one on a
bike with down-tube shifters and changed back to a high-normal RD after one
ride as I couldn't do my normal one-handed double-shift at

Short cage, so I'm safe. Have a few 32t cassettes, but mostly am slowly
migrating to 36t. Then again, don't think I've had a short cage
derailleur since the early 1980's.

I haven't had much trouble switching to low-normal from regular sequence
derailleurs.I even have both types on different bikes and switch
between them frequently.After the first couple of shifts, I no longer
have to think about it. Bikes are otherwise set up differently though

I have a Cyclo-Benelux Tourist derailer on my '54 Claud Butler,
it works pretty good. The shifter has a friction damper wheel
so you can adjust on the the fly. The horizontal spring derailers
were all low normal. Simplex TdF, Cyclo-Benlux Mk7, Tourist etc.
+1 on the XTR, particularly the M951 (with built-in rollamajiggy, if you
can pick one up for a reasonable price on eBay)... Been using them for
years, LOVE EM!!!

I remember Benelux! I had something like the Standard on my second bike
build, circa 1971 or 2, a Varsity (stripped and painted) with a new
drivetrain consisting of an AW with two oppositely-dished cogs tack welded
on the driver and the Benelux, found much to my surprise in a Nairobi shop

I have XTR low-normals (also known as rapid rise) on two bikes, and given a
choice I wouldn't use anything else. I do have two other bikes with
normal shifting (not enough low-normals to go around right now), but it's
not an issue to go back and forth - they all have different kinds of
I've used the LX version. Think one of my bikes has one. (Maybe two).
Hard to remember, as each has a different shifter. I like it. But if
things were switched out for a normal derailleur, probably wouldn't
notice.
Wish they had kept them in the lineup, but can understand the folks who
don't
I used one for seven years on my recently decommissioned commuter. It
required direct and applied concentration to overcome decades of riding
experience to run it right, symmetry of levers' movement or not.
An interesting footnote is that the low normal derailleur springs pull
the cage and
