I’m curious about the silver OM and will probably get one. When it came out
that Riv was working with microshift, I felt it was good news to have it
available to a wider market. Maybe it will catch on and
I think the only reason Rivendell has not leaned into Microshift before is
because 1. Grant has a long history of liking Shimano stuff and has not had
a huge problem finding some really good cheap ones from what they offer and
2. Microshift (I think) are made in China and Rivendell at one point
It looks good. It's not quite as good as my favorite, the Shimano xtr M960,
but I'll buy a few. I'm not quite happy with whatever came on my wife's
complete Platy, so swapping that with a Silver component would be nice.

I will say that i never really got converted to friction being superior to

these don't visually appeal to me as much as the original designs that
If it looks anything like this I think it will be great. That’s quite
classy and minimal compared to other RDs currently on the market. I mean,

Of course it's rapid-rise and that is no surprise since it's been talked
about for years. I wouldn't buy one for that reason alone. The aesthetics
are acceptable of themselves. That it has SILVER on the side, yet with a
black cage ... umm ... I won't hammer them for that as I

It seems to resemble a lot of the Shimano XTR 900 series rr derailers
(which I quite like).
I only hope there will be less black parts than are depicted here.
A S!LVER derailleur, should be just that.
Regardless, I will be buying one on principle.

As Tom Hanks said in Big, "I don't get it". Why would you want a derailer
to move towards your wheel? If some dunce loosens their low limit screw
too much, their rear wheel is toast. The upside is faster shifting uphill,
but it just seems like diminishing returns to me. More and more, Riv's
Yeah, I also have mixed feelings about the look in the drawing. I’ll
reserve judgement until I see an actual product.
Regardless of the looks, I’m still going to grab some. I’m so glad this

I’ll probably buy one, even though I don’t have any immediate use for it — I just like supporting Grant’s little passion projects. I’m not put off by the appearance. (Sometimes the Riv aesthetic goes too far even for me, like the homebrewed “best grips ever” that’s some weird combo of twine, wool,
