25 years of XTR infographic

[FluffyChicken]

Sorry, but I really don't understand what you're trying to say... Your pic is a mirrored, standard, non rapid rise derailleur.

Difference see here, note the cable roller on the rapid rise version:

Got to say it does need to have the roller and stretched out look if it's to be a true infographic ;-)

The wheel is also important as it was the first with a direct none bent loop outer cable routing, now used on Shadows (SRAM also)

M900 5000km with one chain and casette: Modern crap: 1000km. That's 500% loss!

That is funny but er... 80% loss..

That reminds me a true story my father told me about when my parents went to 'parent's day' at my sister's school many years ago. The maths teacher was explaining in exasperated tones that my sister only scored 35% in her maths test. My mother quickly replied "percent? what's that out of?". I imagine my father probably did a literal face-palm expression.

We dont know but it doesnt mean a 100. assuming no fractional marks, then the smallest is 20 questions and getting 7 correct.

Re:

As mentioned, the 1992 model year would have been available in 1991. Cool picture btw.

Oh, and Rapid Rise was ace.

Love it buddy, as I do all your work! (I'm usually seen wearing something with a DavySprocketMTB design on at least one day a week.)

Very cool!

Were the M950 type cranks the only XTR offered with different bolt BCD options? I know 5x94 and 5x110 were available at some point, no?

Yep, that's right! It was actually a removable spider (though both configurations were available for purchase as complete crank sets) - I guess they thought there'd be a backlash to a proprietary BCD.

Inlove a fellow retro geek, especially ones who I learn new things from!
