I must be missing something - what does this stuff do that low end

I can understand Riv selling low-end thumb shifters, because there's a
big leap from $16
I've never worn out a rear derailleur, although I have had to replace jockey
pulleys. Classic Campagnolo derailleurs, with bronze bushings, will last for
decades (I have a 1972 rear der that I'm still using). Modern indexed systems
have less tolerance for wear and may not last as long, but

I've worn out a couple - an old Deer Head Deore which was the original on

This is true. I have not heard fantastic things I am a little shocked

Most of the discussion on other forums about Microshift centers on how
well the brifters work and how well the rear derailers work with other

As long as I can use index bar-end shifters in 9 rear and friction front and
use a largest cog of 34T, I don't care what brand it says on the derailleur.

And if Shimano is no longer interested in supporting 9 speed shifters,
it's nice

Also, If their philosophy is to provide things that otherwise wouldn't
be available if they didn't make them, which I think is an awesome
mission statement, I don't see where cheap derailers fit in. The work
