Mavic 840/841 questions
I have a small collection of Mavic 840 and 841 derailleurs I'd like to press
into service: http://www.bikepro.com/products/rear...vic_rrder.html Before I begin experimenting, can anyone suggest the likely capacity (max. sprocket and max. wrap) for both? I don't currently own any Mavic indexing levers. Can anyone suggest what non-Mavic shifters and cassettes might work, and in what combinations? Finally, there's a little cam with on the derailleur body between the barrel adjuster and the cable clamp. The cable can pass through a hole in the cam, or across its curved outer face - the intention was obviously to provide two indexing options. Can anyone tell me what these two options were? Thanks.

So long as the shifter and cassette match I don't think it matters much what derailleur you have (provided it has enough capacity). Because of the little cam you can possibly even use mis-matched shifter and cassette with this one. |

I would suggest (but wait for someone who knows what he's talking about) that if you have a matched shifter and cassette-- both Simano 8 speed or both Campag 9 speed or something-- use the straight path. Otherwise frob with the cam and see if you can get more gears to work that way. |

Probably 26 for the short cage, 30/32 for the long. I don't currently own any Mavic indexing levers. Can anyone suggest what non-Mavic shifters and cassettes might work, and in what combinations? These were compatible with shimano index shifters, all but DA 8s. Finally, there's a little cam with on the derailleur body between the barrel adjuster and the cable clamp. The cable can pass through a hole in the cam, or across its curved outer face - the intention was obviously to provide two indexing options. Can anyone tell me what these two options were? 7s or 8s Thanks. James Thomson |
