Any reason why a Shimano rapid rise rear mech wont work with road sti shifters?

Ta

No, none at all.

I’ve got one on mine – better IMO (more intuitive, press same lever for higher gear on either side)

somebody said that “normal” mechs better for big sprints – no idea why this would be

Thanks folks – ordered.

the new rapid rise mechs dont have a thing to turn that takes up the cable slack, no problem if you have mtb shifters as you can tweak it with the shifter, but do sti shifters have that capability? im on campag and rapid rise and had to fudge a screw and bolt at the mech end to get my shifting sweet.

hope this makes sense..
