I have a limited knowledge of how all these parts work together but its my understanding that Shimano 9 speed MTB rear derailleur is the same cable pull as Shimano 10 speed road shifters. I am using a 10 speed Shimano bar end shifter with a rapid rise XT rear derailleur and it indexes a 10 speed

Can you share what size fenders are on your Platypus? I have SKS P50s and it looks like 60s would maybe fit? I would like to try aluminum fenders, perhaps. Thanks for the help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscri

the frame is new to me. the rapid rise, is the first deraileur i've tried with it. I did consider that but since the frame is essentially new, i wanted to rule out the components first. On Sunday, February 27, 2022 at 4:53:56 PM UTC-8 Collin A wrote: > Also check the hanger alignment, but usua

Ok, so I had a rapid rise derailler around and all this talk from rivendell got me to put it on my partner's bike that i'm building up. I can't for the life of me get it to index correctly. Not saying the derailler is the problem, but i've never had this issue with regular pull deraillers, so im
