Derailleur

However, in retrospect it may be a good thing I didn't since the derailleur was the only thing that kept the rear wheel from ejecting completely. ❋ BikeSnobNYC (2008)

The front derailleur, which is shaped like the blade of a vegetable peeler, guides the chain between the gears attached to the pedals. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Each appears to be different in its own way from the usual "derailleur", but who am I to judge one's special love for vowels? ❋ BikeSnobNYC (2010)

It can be quite intimidating for the new cyclist to hear the many complicated questions asked at a bike shop using unfamiliar words like "crank set", "derailleur", and "drop tube". ❋ Nomad (2009)

But I believe the "derailleur" double entendre is "Did you rail her" as in ... well, bang/shag/fill in your fave sexual euphemism here. ❋ BikeSnobNYC (2009)

The introduction to Bella Bathurst's book is very clear on what it is not: it's not going to "tell the reader how to differentiate between brands of derailleur or explain why riding a bicycle is good for your heart". ❋ Unknown (2011)

He was running a single chainring and no front derailleur. ❋ Unknown (2011)

And for a high-end bike with, say, Dura-Ace on it, you have to either get a relatively low-end current 9-speed mountain rear derailleur to go with it, or, if you want an XTR rear derailleur, you have to use an old one. ❋ Unknown (2011)

You looking for the derailleur de jour award today? ❋ Unknown (2010)

You can use a Shimano 9-speed MTB rear derailleur with Shimano 10-speed road shifters to get that really low gear with a triple and MTB 10-speed cogset, now that SRAM and Shimano have über big 10-speed MTB cogsets. ❋ Unknown (2011)

He cares not whether the wheel has 5-, 6-, 7-, 8-, 9-, 10-, or 11-speed cogset on it; his derailleur will shift on any of them. ❋ Unknown (2011)

As an alternative, we have a set of 7800 DA shift levers & rear derailleur, but are not sure if that set-up is compatible with the 10-speed cassette from his chorus stuff? ❋ Unknown (2011)

So even if you saved the weight of the small ring and the shifter, the front derailleur should stay. ❋ Unknown (2011)

I have obtained an 11-34 10-speed cassette but need a long cage rear derailleur that will work with my 7900 shifters. ❋ Unknown (2011)

I am assuming you are asking how the chain is ran through the rear derailleur. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The rear derailleur, front derailleur, crankset and chainrings, and brakes all get the new silky black finish. ❋ Unknown (2011)

The shifters will sell for $210 andare designed to work with Metron rear derailleur or Shimano 7800, with 7900 compatibility on the way soon ❋ Unknown (2011)

In trying to keep a chain on a chainring, a derailleur is impressively effective. ❋ Unknown (2011)

Instead of a single lever that is pushed up or down, the Metron uses a TT-brake-style lever to pull in cable, downshifting the rear derailleur or upshifting the front. ❋ Unknown (2011)
