Rapid Rise Shimano Deore XT RD-M760 SGS Rear Derailleur 9speed Long Cage

Description: This is a Shimano Deore XT rapid rise rear derailleur. It's the RD-M760 SGS. It is a long cage for triple cranksets, and according to Shimano the max sprocket is 34t (but it will do 36t easy). If you're here I assume you know what rapid rise means, but in case you don't: This derailleur's neutral position is the largest cassette sprocket instead of the smallest. This is also called "low-normal," as in the lowest gear is the derailleur's untensioned position. It was designed to help manage drivetrain wear by allowing the chain to shift by always following the ramps on a cassette rather than allowing the rider to brute force a shift. The thing is, this derailleur makes your rear shifter work in the opposite way, up is down, black is white. A lot of folks use these with bar end shifters, and it makes them work the same way on both sides -- pulling cable always makes it harder to pedal! Shimano only tried this for one (and a half, I guess) generations, and most hardcore racers hated it because it slowed their shifting slightly. But some people love them, so here's this one... The cage is straight, the the spring tension here is good, and the derailleur is functioning normally. The only issue is that the pulleys are worn -- but good news! I'm going to include a set of new Shimano pulleys in the package. Yay! Go get shifting!
