I have an old saint 800 derailleur. How do I tell if its a normal style or Horizontal-DropOut style derailleur?
saint 800 rear derailleur question

- Start date
There should be a notch on where the derailleur bolts onto the rear axle for the horizontal axle models. This notch keeps the derailleur in place on the dropout.
Wasn't the "best" rear mech, but totally BOMBPROOF. Definitely lived up to the name.

It's not a notch so much as a tab that matches the slot in the dropout.
If you have one, try and install it. It will be obvious.
Usually, Shimano has a PN designation but mine just says RD-M800
PS, I have 2 for sale if you need one.
Being a lazy bastard i was hoping for a picture.
Follow me drunken type if you look down the axle and the notch is at seven o'clock to the pivot bolt at 6 o'clock it is a vert model.
I still cant belive I actually broke one of those....
Did you take a shotgun to it?
I prefer "Boom stick".
HA... Boulder at a rather hi rate of speed.
