Tennyson was always a couple steps more confusing than shifting. I never felt
so screwed with Tennyson though.

If you don't keep the brain thinking it starts to not think...I think
I heard that somewhere. Keep the synapses snapping by putting on
reverse front and rear der. and by switching the brakes from right to
left. Great fun until you have to do the "U turn" as you head up the
big hill due to a shift

I always got confused with my low normal, tho' it shifted beautifully (even
if, often, in the wrong direction). I suppose I would eventually have
gotten used to it except that the other derailleurs I had were high normal
and this fact screwed up the learning curve.
A matter of taste and personal m
I have had low and high normal RDs on several bikes at the same time
and lived to tell the tale!
I'd use some more low-norm but I seem to have inadvertently acquired
quite a stash of XT high-norm.

I am hoarding the last silver (painted) low normal XT derailers. They
are decent looking, work great, and can be had pretty cheap. I think
low normal is a great idea. I don't think you necessarily need to have
the whole fleet set up the same way, IF you use different shifters
with the different der

3 reverse action bikes + 3 normal action bikes.
Lots of things confuse me (lots and lots). Shifting a rear derailer is not
one of them.

Fine if:
- you have them on all your bikes
- you never have to change back
If either of those two conditions is false, you are so s
I have low-normal derailleurs on a couple of my bikes. So much better
than high-normal IMHO.

I have a really nice older series (m953) XTR low-normal derailleur. At the Twin
Cities bike swap last weekend, probably 100 bike geek types fondled it and
wrinkled up their noses because it was "reverse action". I like low-normal
derailleurs, but most bike geek types are too jaded to even consid
Yes, A Silver group sounds great. I was in a LBS today and they had a NOS
XTR reverse action rear derailer. I have a friend with a reverse action (is
the appropriate term "low normal"?) derailer and it instantly makes sense
when I ride his bike. I would have bought the XTR today but it was

Who said there was a problem? I just wondered what Riv got for their
$9k investment. Idle curiosity, and zero conspiracy suspicions here.
I worked long enough in the bicycle retail business to be curious
about the business side of these things. Did Riv just shell out 9-

Well, Dia-Compe is openly selling the silver shifters to other
vendors, so it's not like VO, Ben's or anyone are "stealing" them. I
don't see them claiming to have designed or commissioned them, either,
so I don't know what the problem is.
If Riv didn't have an exclusive deal, or it expired, than t
