If you're running a 36t rear cog, just go with a current-vintage SRAM or Shimano unit. Sure, it won't be all-silver, but you also won't have to worry about poor shifting, etc. FWIW, the euro LX is quite heavy, and the stamped/bent steel pieces can develop slop quicker than all-alloy units.

I've been though this with customers before, and my opinion is that it's much better if you can get the one that works and ride it and forget about the color. Speaking for myself, I've never judged a man's (or woman's) worth by the color of his (or her) dérailleur cage.

Other than the euro LX sold through Riv, is there anything that comes in a plain silver finish? I don't like the look of the black or the silver/black Deore, though it's reliable, easily found, and economical. I've given up on a used one, since rear derailers tend to suffer quite a lot of cosmetic degradation before being offered for sale, generally speaking. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
