Hey Joe, thanks for the great ride route last weekend.
I ordered the Advient 9 long cage clutch derailer (to replace the SRAM GX
10 speed that gave me trouble last ride - bent and stripped b-limit screw
lead to stripped threads in the derailer itself, fixed now [with new m4
bolt and some lock
Sorry Abe, the stock drivetrain is too good to change on my mustard Clem H,
plus I'm leaning towards selling that bike when the custom gets here so don't
want to muck it up too much. The Advent stuff with indexed shifter may see duty
on the custom.

Did you ever mount the Advent derailleur and try it with friction shifters?
Curious 9 speed cassette users want to know how their thumbies might work
with this affordable, clutched derailleur ...
Also, thanks for the VO rings!

John, I haven't changed much on the bike yet so not much to report.
Unfortunately for my hobby of taking bikes apart and putting them back together
in a different way, Clems in stock form are hard to improve!

Ooh, that's a thing I need to try. I just picked up a Clem H with the
Microshift thumbies swapped so the front ratchety-friction works the rear
derailer. I have an Advent group, I'm going to mount the cassette and derailer
and I'll let y'all know how it goes.

Thank you! The front rack is a custom that I bought with the frame. It’s
as deep as Marks rack or similar but wider. It’s as wide as the Acorn rando
box. It attaches to the fork by boxing out the brake. I decided to splurge
on Paul Centerpull centermount brakes and the normal ways these would
My comments about how brifters work with mtb derailers was not a blanket
statement. Sometimes they're perfect like when I used Ultegra 10 with a Shadow
XT and 11-34 cassette.

What is the gear range on those long cage RD? There are a few on EBay but
they look more like mid cage designs to me.

Taking this as a blanket statement, I am going to disagree with you.
For compatible Shimano rear derailleurs (i.e., excluding oddball
situations like 1st gen Dura Ace 8) there is no difference in index
shifting performance per se between road rear derailleurs and MTB rear
derailleurs. Of

The DA bar cons are nice in friction. Gotta be careful standing though. I
was hoping to use my Riv down tube shifters ( like

Yes, a 105 brifter will shift a Shadow XT 9 "ok", but bar-ends are better at
it. With brifters the shift either takes or it doesn't, there's not much you
can do to help it along. Bar-ends are technically index (rear), but you still
have the friction-like ability to coax onto a recalcitrant cog.
Good news!
Anyone with an opinionated experience about the 8 speed 11-40 cassettes?
Are they durable?

Correctamundo, I've used that derailer with those 9-speed bar-ends. Easy peasy
if you switch to a Shimano/SRAM 9 cassette.

Judging from the photo, you have a recent vintage 9-speed MTB rear
derailleur. If so, all you need to convert to 9 speed indexing is a 9
speed right hand shifter. In Shimano world, 8 and 9 speed MTB rear
derailleurs are compatible with road shifters 8-10 speed. 10 speed MTB
rear derailleur
