Not entirely serious here, but is there any reason I shouldn't?
I mean, a mountain bike mech on a road bike!! Burn him! I have a couple of other choices.
A very nice Mavic job. Trouble is, it will be used in all weathers and that particular mech operates on a weird circlip spring loaded gizmo that never fails to nearly remove a finger every time I try to fit it.
A Shimano 600 SIS. Very light and very short caged. This is my 'old geezer' cassette with a huge 25 tooth large sprocket and I think it struggles slightly on the occasions I need it.
Nothing needs to index and I quite like the look of the old XT. It is one of the old short cage versions.
What I really want is an old Dura Ace mech like @fossyant used to have as an avatar. Until then though, what about this one?
