Firstly. I like Rapid Rise. Please don't bother to reply with negative comments. You say tomarto I say tomayto.

My current XT RD-M760 is at least ten years old and has covered well in excess of 150,000 kms. Only maintenance to date has been cleaning, relubing of spring and pivot points, and jockey wheel replacement. There is now very slight play in the B axle that may be the cause of occasional shifting delay.

(My edit in italics)


Anyone have experience of replacing the B Axle assembly? Was it worthwhile?

Thx in advance

I doubt the play will cause much issues. Once you've replaced the Jockeys and cables it should be OK. Can you get the parts though.

I'm running a RD-M737 on my commuter - it's brill.
