As per title, anyone knows if shimano still make the rapid rise rear mech?
i recently bought one from CRC. was thinking i should buy another as i'm not sure if they will still be produced - or at least the 9spd.
Don't think so. Ended a couple of years ago, iirc.
Am sure the odd shop or twelve will have some sitting unloved in a box somewhere!
XT are still available via Madison in both SGS and GS versions, we've still got a few Deores left from a series of ordering cock-ups that we're flogging at cost,and they're still not selling.
Booo :'(
hopefully the french importer will have some left over as well finger crossed...
Damn. I'm running XTR 950-960 rapid rise on all my bikes - I love it. Can't imagine going back...
Did it not really catch on? (if so, then ... why did it not really catch on?)
I'm about to replace the drive components on my Peregrine, and was thinking about using it there, as I like the idea of the mech moving up the block if the spring out-pulls the bar-end shifter on climbs (and not the other way 'round).
Maybe I'd better order it quickly (and order two). 😕
