Well, there's my very tidy xtr mech going for £20 for the curious... :roll:

and for the even more curious, i have a set of these complete brake/ shifters and calipers.

which are designed for RR.

aha!! I was wondering this myself, recently fitted a modern-ish LX rear mech to a bike, coupled with a modern-ish XT shifter, took it for a ride and my brain turned to mush when I went to change gear

I couldn't work out if it was the mech or the shifter that was playing silly buggers, I even contemplated turning the cables the other way around (joke!)

so this Rapid-Rise was just a short lived Shimano fad then? and all is back to normal now?

It's confused the hell out of me, especially when I get on my other bike with a "normal" rear mech :roll:

Nope, its still in production or still available to buy anyway, my rear mech is a new XT M770 Rapid Rise

I just don't like 'em. So sue me.

I have to say that now that I have fitted the corresponding shifters rather than the normal ones it all seems pretty seemless. Bit like driving a left hand drive car really; in the UK it's a right pain in the arse, but in a country where they drive on the right it's not that different after a while
