Reverse spring oder...

[TimoWr]

Hallo Forum,

This is probably a simple question for most of you, but I'm a bit confused. Is a Shimano Ultegra derailleur of the reverse spring type or top normal type?

Thanks in advance,
Timo

hi
didn't quite understand that one, what is "reversed spring typw" supposed to mean? are you talking about the infamous solution shimano refers to as "inverse" shifting, i.e. the rear derailleur? if so: no, ultegra is standard. if you fit it without the operating cable it will move outwards to the smallest/fastest gear-cog of the cassette.

Shifting an Ultegra-derailleur is always "standard" - just like any Shimano group. AFAIK the inverse shifting has only been available as option for XTR untill Shimano released its 2003 group where the inverse logic is standard due to the dual controler.

Aha, now I get it! So, would this mean a "top normal type" SR Suntour derailleur is Shimano compatible?

 

[amazombi]

what does "top normal type mean"? are you talking about a front derailleur then? a top-pull one where the operating cable comes from the top, that is direction of the saddle? or is the rear derailleur you're interested in?

Hi,

You can use the SR-XCR650 with shimano shifters.

Thanks, that's good I really like the way this derailleur looks!
