Hi again.
I've been thinking about replacing my aging Simplex rear derailleur with a new one, but I'm a little confused on what would be compatible. My bike is an old school 12 speed road bike with friction shifter's with a 6 speed cassette on the rear wheel. I'm looking to pay around £25/30 for one which should get me a low end Shimano jobbie.
When I look for one though, most state that they are 7/8 speed , and was wondering would these actually work on a 6 six cassette. The cassette fitted to my bike is a 14/24 (if that has any bearing on my choice of derailleur).
Many thanks.
Johnny
