I ordered one, even though there’s an XT rapid rise derailleur on eBay for a third the price.
I haven’t figured out which bike it’s going on yet

Curiosity piqued. Won’t someone educate us dummies?

Got one on my Riv but I also have like 6 other rapid rises. I don’t know if it’s worth it over just getting an old rapid rise. The spring tension is pretty strong on it, which means you need to tighten your friction shifter a little tighter to avoid ghost shifting. But it’s not as strong a clutched derailleur.

didn’t Rapid rise derailleurs fail as a concept before? Do they work better with friction than indexed?

Old wine in new bottles?

I’m saving my quarters for one of these. 😀

Is the stated max capacity accurate, or is it a conservative number like Shimano would give?

I support grant fulfilling all of his dreams but I would never, in a hundred years, buy this. I’d rather buy an Alivio

I’ve never really got the Riv hype
