Eric, et. al.:
I stumbled upon Shimano RR M760 quite a few years ago and snatched a bunch
of 'em up. Enough to mount on four 'daily' riders and a few more to replace
any that stop working or suffer trauma, etc.. Shift levers are all Dura-Ace
9 speed mounted on DT.
All of them are now as sharp
Last M760 RR data point — looking back at my old bike pix, at least one of
my reverse-normal M760s has been hard-at-work for 9 years. Was mounted in
2013 for sure, maybe just a bit earlier.

To be clear I see Riv's point in making one, it's a different thing from
what's currently available so they'll have that niche. I just don't want
one.

I’m with Joe on this one. It’s a lot of work on something that’s already

My extremely "grouchy old man" feedback is the one RapidRise I acquired was
a pain in the patooty to install and I didn't find any benefit to the
reverse shifting. In this reporter's opinion! ♂️

Thanks JC, Bill, Patrick and Scott for more takes on Rising Rapidly.
JC, do let me know if you can repair or finesse that 951 into shape!
Scott, gotta admire your pile of 951s. Do you have an idea of cassette
capacity differences between the medium and long cage versions?
Bill, I am also a

I actually ended up with Eric's XTR Rapid Rise mentioned in this post. I
like fixing and tinkering so I figured I'd give it a shot. I've
successfully fixed (i.e. manhandled) a few derailleurs that suffered from
bent cages and I figured that might be the case with this one. There is

I've been running an XTR rapid rise for 7+ years. I've found shifting to be
much more intuitive. I generally pair with old parts (suntour barcons or
silver shifters) and find less wander and accidental upshifts. The action
feels substantially lighter and more accurate. In instances of missed
I have always done rapid rise and I find that it provides the most benefit
with indexed shifting. Beware of switching to rapid rise later in life.
You may be permanently confused about which way to shift, whether you use
STI, rapid fire, grip shift, or thumbies. With bar ends or any
Ha! Yeah I'm a little excessive with my cable run, its been a minute since
I set this up. Haven't gotten caught on anything yet!
as far as the cassette goes, its a 9 spd shimano xt, 11-34/36 (can't
remember exactly how big it is and I'm away from the bike, but in the 30's

JJ thanks for sharing your experiences across several RR mechs, that's a
lot of sampling. Sounds like you've found cage movement that works for you!
Dig the pic as well, thank you. I agree the red decal is a bit much.
Perhaps I'll scrape it off.
Johnny, thanks for the link, that is an
Riv is indeed making different tiers. I believe Grant said he wanted the
top level to be around $300 but a plain jane low level version for
something like $30.

On Monday,
Path Less Pedaled just did an entire video episode on Rapid Rise/Low Normal
derailleurs that’s definitely worth watching.
One point that came up in the comments from viewers is that shifting to lower
gears is done entirely through the strength of the spring in the derailleur.
