WANTED: Decrepit Rear derailleur, 9 or 10 speed

[mfezela]

Looking for a clutch (which must work) equipped rear derailleur. Condition and brand not important, doesn't have to include jockey wheels. Going to disassemble and use as basis for non cycling related experiment.

If that’s in good nick and reasonable money I might be interested for my tourer project that’s not even started ...

Hi restless
I took it off my Kona Explosif 15 years ago. It worked fine then. The return spring feels tight and strong.

If you pay postage you can have it. A small donation to air ambulance would be a nice touch.

I'd like to know more about this. Must be a million engineering uses for a clutch derailleur.

I'm not using the whole derailleur, just the chassis, clutch and lever arm as a damper mechanism. If it's a success I'll willingly share, until then
