    Oh let's face it. We have a trademark on derail here.




    Or in my case, contribute... to derailling. My own thread. Awesome.
    cheap ass derailleur... it needs to be a Dura Ace (or, as they say in the pits "do you race")

    going with the good derail - the reason the Deore is crap - inside it uses plastic bits to move the derailleur; which, if you're pedaling up a hill and you want to shift, if you shift your derailleur will look like a 302 driving over it's crank after it's been unzipped..

    I thought of one awhile back..
    if the sections get big enough.
    one for restomod, that could be injection in an old something..
    then there is the concourse every nut and bolt replace as era correct.

    and there is another one, near untouched.. a word I learned from a Porsche guru. This leaves the paint alone etc, fix what is broken. I never remember the word for that.

    a million mile 356 could be found there etc.

    just an idea.

    I pushed boundaries with a very unique ricer, still glad to be here than anywhere.

    I've spent a lot, and I mean a lot, of time on bicycles, so I'm familiar with the situation..........in the long run, I'm just thankful to have a derailleur, or 'arm'............

    That's Shimano, cheap stuff that works really good. But it doesn't impress anybody. Back in my day you had to have Campagnolo,supposedly Italian, the same stuff, same thing but it made all the racers go WHOA - you've got Campy stuff! It was a brain game.

    And that's a wide-ratio six speed cog, touring bike stuff. And the derailler has a long arm on it - you don't want to show up at a bike race with that - the gearhead snotty road racers will call you impotent or something to try to get into your head and make you lose the race before it starts.

    Without a doubt! Lol...

    I just asked the other guys to start their own ads..

    And by the way, did you hear about the guy who thought asphalt was butt trouble?

    I'm sorry, that was off topic. I hate off topic stuff.
    So says the master derailer!
    Resident off topic starter
    You know you love to derail! After all you were a master of derailers on your bike! (shifting is derailing)
