Shimano FD-M735 confusion

[LTS Biker]

Today I was searching for all M735 on internet I could find and thought I had figured it out.
28.6 doesn't and 31,8 and 34.9 do have them.
Do later I found 28.6 derailleurs with them. Theory broken
I will search for some cataloges to read.

Maybe they just badged the M732's for the new group and changed it and thougth: Well we changed the number, not the derailleur, maybe if we change it now, we don't have to change the number again

Perfect theory, maybe that's why they also altered the black slightly so we wouldn't notice so much

Next people will be saying Deore DX is just Deore-II re-badged and restamped

The M732 and 735 rear derailleurs also had a bit colour change. The 735 looks more blue-ish.

so If people know the difference in the M737 and M739

Please let me know
The colour is the same so that is not the problem.

The cage is different on the M737 / M739 rear derailleurs. I'll have to take pictures tomorrow

737/739

Jokey wheels changed, I think 739 got the sealed bearings of M900 and M950, the rest internal ? the coating on the pins ?

The pins indeed are changed, I found that, but it's as far as I found out, impossible to see the difference comparing them.

But.. I think we found the M735 dilemma

and that just spoils the small geeky fun here
do you still have the running changes for this period ?

Hell no - only data I ever saw for this period was in yellowed paper archives.... with handwritten amendments etc...

My working period was a lot later, with everything being accessible electronically.

Didn't keep any of it as it wasn't mine to keep.
