Dumb question but is it safe to assume all derailleurs have a clutch these days?
Click to expand...
No.
Shimano still do treking and double chainset compatible mtb mechs with no clutch. But they're not rated to work with 50t cassettes and are listed as such so it'd be pretty difficult to buy one in error. IME plenty people with doubles still seem to get it wrong and buy clutch mechs as replacements.

<edit> The XTR double compatible mech has a clutch of sorts (lighter resistance)
The one you've linked to has a proper clutch

HMMMMMMM

Just sent email to them asking about the ratchet in their 350's....

Also anyone have experience with wheelsets purchased through and their warranty? If I damage a rim and it gets warrantied, do they rebuild it for me?

They give you 2 options: send the broken wheel back and they'll relace it to a new rim (you pay shipping both ways), or they'll send you a new rim for shipping 1 way and you sort out getting it relaced. Their turn around for second option is super fast, I had new rims to me in 1 week from initial contact both times.

I believe all new 350's come with 36T if that helps.

Do you use them?
I feel like it would be great as a rear rim on my hardtail, but as a fattie who breaks things I don't want to have to carry a bike out of the bush because I made yet another questionable wheel based decision.
I have a Union on the front.

I couldn't believe that OneUp do free international shipping for orders over 99USD.
Doesn't help you, but I hadn't seen any free shipping offers like that for years.

Last order from Germany attracted an extra 15Euro charge on top of the initial postage fee.
Annoyingly they sent a German magazine that weighed half as much as the order.

I discovered Primeau Vélo opened a bricks and mortar store in my town. haven't been yet. but is that supposed to be a good deal for an XT derailleur?! belongs in the "what's wrong with the industry" thread... :disgust1::butcher:
