If you have downtube shifter bosses on the frame you can get Shimano cable
adjusters to fit over them, these are used with STI shifters. VO also
sells some Dajia ones (don't look as nice as Shimano) for $10. If you
don't have shifter bosses, you can as Rene has said install inline
adjusters i
Those rear derailers, and even the 9 speed XT 772 no longer have the barrel
adjuster since the mountain shifters have them. When using bar end
shifters, you can insert some 3rd party cable barrel adjusters in the
housing between the handlebar and the down tube mounts, but if you're
running downtube
Thanks, Bill. Jon Dukeman had a similar suggestion. It looks pretty close
and sounds smooth. I think I'll ride it a while until I can get it to a
shop to align it properly. Now I know tool to ask if they have for a
precision alignment.
Jim, I didn't realize it didn't have a barrel adjuster
I busted a very nice Microshift road rd on the Fargo when I caught a stick
in the wheel. The cage shattered, the rd hangar bent inward at 90*, jamming
against the small cog, but strangely, no spoke broke. LBS fixed it fine.
I felt the wheel skid, and immediately (~.00443 second) slammed on the rea

slightly twisted. Any tips on how to check this or to align it properly?"
Eyeball it. Get your face behind the rear derailer and down low. Are bot
Grant's incident was different than mine. I had noticed a clicking noise
recently, particulary during hard pedal strokes. Turned out that a link of
the chain was coming loose and when it broke open, it hooked the derailleur
and twisted it up nicely. Lesson learned... check the chain more ofte
I found Grant's incident interesting because I did the same thing - not enough
chain for big-big combo, and it locked me up. My case was 54-34 combo on '72

I too use the M772 XT rear derailer that Riv sells on my Sam and it's been
fantastic. It survived a 3-mile section of mud last year in the Dirty Kanza
when ever other rider was snapping rear derailers. That being said, my Roadeo
demo from Riv oddly enough has the cheapo Claris mid-cage rear de
I love my XT shadow on my Sam.

I use the XT RD-M772 "shadow" derailleur on my Riv. The M770 version of
that RD has "normal" cable routing.

Joe,
Check out ebay there are a few listed that are pretty cheap.

I'm running a short cage claris on my Sam and I've been happy with it- that is
to say, I don't think about it and just seems to work. It is nice choice for
about $30.

I get the whimsy and anti-derailer-snobbery that GP sees in the Altus, but I
don't think I could bring myself to put one on a nice bike like your Sam. It
makes more sense to me on the complete CLEM builds, which are intended to be a
budget entry into Rivbikes. My thinking there is that you would

One of the chain links popped and hooked the rear cage. Not as bad as Grant's
