I think RR stands for "Rapid Rise," also known as "ass backwards," or "low normal": unhook the cable, and the derailleur auto-shifts to the lowest gear/largest sprocket. I don't follow this sort of thing closely, but in a recent thread on 2011 XTR someone made the comment that "Rapid Rise is now dead". > > > I don't like them atall. I've been through this once before, with SunTour backwards-acting front derailleurs. Sooner or later, no matter how much you love the gear (and I loved the Compe V front derailleur, and hung onto them many years after they went out of production) you have to switch back, and the switch is painful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
