I love my rd-m960. Great performance and lightweight, plus it was one of the few nice-looking rear derailers from that era. I'm surprised you consider the rapid-rise a flaw; i personally love rapid-rise/low normal RDs. A lot of ppl are actually seeking those out these days
@@RetroRebuilds i remember most ppl hated them back in the day when they were new, but i think they really hated the dual-control levers that went with them, where the brake levers were also the shifter? But in the past 5 years it so, they got a cult following. I think a lot of that comes from Grant at Rivendell promoting them. I set up a bike with a low-normal rear derailer and a high-normal front derailer... Shifting is upside down and back-asswards, but it shifts so good...
@@RetroRebuilds yeah they're good for XC but they do take getting used to. They work well unless you're sending it and things get inadvertently shifted
RapidRise are great!!!!
