This rapid rise deraileur sounds and looks intriguing. I have a couple of
Shimano RD-C201 Mega-Range Rear Derailleur 8-Speed, Rapid Rise Silver. I
have wanted to try it, but don't have anything to do so on in my personal
use stable. My put it on some junk bike I have just for fun. Look forward
I finally got around to reading the latest blahg and those last few images
show that Grant is tantalizingly close to solving the exposed barrel
adjuster problem that Shimano never solved. Very interesting.

Not sure if this is the answer you are looking for.
I removed my 9 spd Altus and replaced it with a 9spd Shimano XT rapid rise
derailuer. I'm using Microshift 9 speed indexing thumb shifters that work
great with11- 36 cassette Front derailuer is friction. Silver 38×24 cranks

Not to belabor the point - but...
My question was not "Will the new derailer index?". My question was "How
many people that disdain rapid rise have actually tried it?" Based on my
experience using drivetrain components not matched [or not quite matched]
for each other, I am not likely to try in
iamkeith followed up, saying: "I wish I could find the old Blahg or Peeking
through the Knothole or Reader article where they were tossing around the
idea of the reversible spring. It seemed so genius and simple to me.
Though I suspect you're right - it probably wasn't simple at all."
I thin
You can't just flip the spring on a derailleur. You need to change where
the cable is pulling from and where it is attached. Non-trivial since it is
built into the single molded top part. Where the barrel adjuster is
attached on a rapid rise derailleur is actually the biggest flaw in the
design

iamkeith asked one question and then implied a second question by stating a

The question:
"Is there a reason this derailleur couldn't be used with index shifters if
someone was so inclined?"
There is no reason somebody could not use this derailer with index shifters
if they were so incl
Is there a reason this derailleur couldn't be used with index shifters if
someone was so inclined? Grant said they copied the parallelogram geometry
from Shimano. I assumed that meant it had a 1.66:1 cable pull ratio, so
any index shifter up through 9 speed, with a corresponding number of

I tried rapid rise last time I was in Walnut Creek. I really liked it. I
ditched friction about ten years ago though. Dislike friction for the same
reason I like rapid rise: Hills! The San Francisco Bay Area is the home of
long hills, steep hills and long, steep hills. I can't count the times I
I’m definitely in for at least one.
I’m also curious about the V-brakes. The feature of being able to open far
enough to clear a fat tire has me sold.

People's Republic of China, made by the same people who've made the
derailers many of you are riding with now, assuming they are not Shimano or
Microshift or Campagnolo. They made it according to our design, w
