I think you may be thinking of one he gave at Rivelo in Portland? Surely
someone must have made a video about it? (John Bennet of Rivelo, maybe?)

In hindsight I feel like my comments came across as too harsh. Despite it
not being for me, I am very excited this is going to happen for both
RIvendell and fans of rapid rise

Thanks Jim but it's a different one, pre-pandemic for sure - though he does
touch on the same subjects a bit here so no wonder you'd think that's the

Knowing what your routes are like Dan, I think the Hillborne would be

Yeah, I also have mixed feelings about the look in the drawing. I’ll

Regardless of the looks, I’m still going to grab some. I’m so glad this

Thanks again for the suggestions. The world of 135mm rim-brake hubs has
become even richer and bigger than before.
Looks like I've found my winter project.

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.

I'm not a RapidRise convert, either, but I'll probably buy one even if it
looks like a MicroShift. I'm a sucker for a good logo and Silver looks
awesome!

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

Looks like it borrowed a lot from this model, with different cable pull and
spring attachment.

I don't find it unattractive, though it would have been more fun if it kept
the older vintage style. I have tried to embrace rapid rise but it's not
for me, never worked as flawlessly as my M952's. Glad it's happening and
their Silver brand continues to expand.

Out of the hundreds of bike components I’ve owned in my life, I can’t think of
one that’s better than the trusted 952. Shimano should reissue it and keep it
in production forever.

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,

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

Appreciate the comments. Looks like a split decision but it’s useful to
hear some real world experiences. Maybe I should have mentioned that I’ll
have Albatross handlebars, Silver thumb shifters, Paul Love levers, and
V-brakes (Shimano DXR MX70).

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.

Tim,
The only limiting factor for the rack would a stem with positive rise or
extremely short/zero reach, but that shouldn't be a problem with a
traditional albatross setup.

My experience with the Jack Rack is the polar opposite of the criticisms

If it looks anything like this I think it will be great. That’s quite

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
