freecore Started a new thread Short/Medium Cage Derailleur Difference
8/17/2014 7:16am Correct me if I'm wrong but...from what I've read, apparently the only difference in cage length is the slack in the chain resulting in different shifting times. I couldn't help but notice every downhill bike has the shorter cage rear derailleur. Does this play a role in jumping and handling big drops also?

7/16/2013 12:59pm That sounds rather complicated. Have you heard of using shrink wrap as a cheaper alternative to shrink fitting the spring assembly? Maybe we are talking about the same thing here.
