What works best; FD-M950 or FD-M953?

I spotted two spelling errors, reduse and poit for point, the cranks are missing the self extracting collars, the rear mech's hanger bolt is also a nasty affair compared to what they came wth, the fitted front mech looks like it was made from billet as well. That must have been pictures of the developement groupset!

Think you mean the M950-type generally with the extra pivots on the cage.

These are IMHO the best front mechs ever made. Only reason they stopped making them was because they were too expensive to produce.

Am running 3 of them at the moment (RC200 (Direct mount), RC300 and Parkpre) and they are just awesome.

Shhhhh

Precisely.

Read it! Hell I've downloaded it to my hard drive! now I have to hide it so the wife doesn't catch me looking at it!

That was pretty easy to find.

I have searched and searched and searched some more, I can't find the setup/install sheet anywhere. Anyone got a copy?

Thanks Fluffy, silly boy, don't you know chickens never fly?

Pretty rough stuff for sure.

My favorite is "articurated", not only a typo but, stereo type pronunciation!
