From experience if you want a short cage you need to buy a short cage. I’ve tried to swap cages over from xtr derailleurs and the length of the bolt is different on different sized cages. So is the b knuckle. Either that or Ive missed somethingHey Dom. How's things?
I'm after the non-rapid rise version really. I have a short cage from another M-950 derailleur that I was hoping to swap over onto it.
I’m good mate. Hope your well too?Hey Dom. How's things?

Ah okay. Gutted. Was hoping it would work. Don't think the short cage ones come up that often! Do you or @d8mok know if I can run one of the later m952 or m953 RDs with an 8 speed shifter and cassette without issue?From experience if you want a short cage you need to buy a short cage.

I'm learning. I like that!I’m good mate. Hope your well too?
M951 is rapid rise so if you want 8 speed you need M950. M952 differ in a few small bits to M950
I’ll let you know if I get one
Yeh M952 works on 8 speed as I’ve a couple like that. The colour is different though on the later stuff.Ah okay. Gutted. Was hoping it would work. Don't think the short cage ones come up that often!
