DA Rear Derailleurs
I am going to get a new DA rear derailleur. It seems that the DA9 and
DA10 derailleurs are interchangeable. So my question is, if I am running DA9 STI, chain, etc., then how much will the DA10 derailleur improve shifting in both the near and long term compared to the DA9 derailleur? I suspect it wil not help much, but wanted to check with some experts first. Thanks! Eric Lambi |

DA Rear Derailleurs
I currently have a 2 (going on 3) seasons old ultegra derailleur tha
has been crashed at least 5 times (and looks like it). I think I can ge some improvement with a new DA derailleur My question was whether getting the DA10 will somehow warrant the extr $60 over the cost of the DA9 - |

The best thing about the DA9 is the ball brg. pulleys. I can't imagine the
10 could be $60 better. Tom -- Bruni Bicycles "Where art meets science" brunibicycles.com 410.426.3420 elambi wrote in message ...

In general agreement about value but I think ball-bearing pulleys are a waste of money. They don't improve performance and, in fact, can be a headache (ever try to service one?). Water intrusion is a real life hassle with bearings. Since they increase cost with no added benefit, I don't like them. Robin Hubert |

eric- It seems that the DA9 and

BRBR No improved shifting or longevity. They are nearly identical except the DA-10s is a bunch more expensive. If ya can get a DA-9, I'd get it.

Hi,
Everyone is missing one MAJOR change on the new 7800 (10 speed) RD. The knuckles on the plates are now outside of the derailleur. This makes the link wider and thus stiffer. It doesn't have nearly as much play in it as the old one. It shifts well.Additionally, the new RD has 11 tooth pulley wheels. This increases longevity by a huge amount because the plates of the chain now run on every tooth rather than every other tooth on the 7700 and earler models. If you're looking for that small edge then buy it. "Qui si parla Campagnolo" wrote in message ... eric- It seems that the DA9 and DA10 derailleurs are interchangeable.

Righto- I still say save $60 or so and get a DA 9s one until they are gone. DA rear ders, the 9s one, IMO are very durable and with a little maintenance last for a LONG time.
