Is there a Shimano "Shadow Plus" short cage MTB derailleur that's not "Dyna-Sys" - Cyclocross Magazine2024-03-28T12:13:53Zhttps://cowbell.cxmagazine.com/forum/topics/is-there-a-shimano-shadow-plus-short-cage-mtb-derailleur-that-s?commentId=1198434%3AComment%3A157249&x=1&feed=yes&xn_auth=noCM,

<p>CM,</p>
<p></p>
<p>If you read my first response, I mentioned that I am running the above rear derailleur and not the XTR 972 9 speed Shadow version. There was no 9 speed Shadow + but I think the Saint 810 9 speed version may work pretty well since it's spring was very stiff compared to an XTR or XT. My impression is that the Saint is the precursor to the "+" for the 10 speed rear derailleurs. I have one in my inventory and may try it on my CX9 1x10 set up. I'll have to do some rougher…</p>

<p>You should try it if you have extra parts laying around. Or add a front chain guide like a Paul's Chain Keeper.</p>
<p></p>
<p>After talking to Wolf Tooth, I may just add a 40t GC to my cross set up and I'd probably have a wide range 10 speed set up that will be pretty close to a 2x10 set up.</p> CM,
Thanks for the photo tip!…tag:cowbell.cxmagazine.com,2014-09-17:1198434:Comment:1572132014-09-17T21:59:51.614ZSteven Spraguehttps://cowbell.cxmagazine.com/profile/StevenSprague

Cool! Looks great.<br />
<br />
Just fyi, that's not a Shadow or Shadow + rear derailleur. No clutch, no shadow (low profile clamp).<br />
<br />
Tip: for photos, use the photo icon instead of attaching, that way it'll look like this:<br />

<p>Hey Cyclocross Magazine and Erik,</p>
<p></p>
<p>Here's some pictures of my drive train. I double checked and it's an XTR 952 rear derailleur. Yes, the cable maybe a little short but I was transferring it from another bike and didn't want to put in a new Gore cable. I'll fix it once it wears.</p>
<p>Let me know what you think.</p>

<p>Steven, post a photo of your setup when you have a second. What's the model # of your derailleur? </p>

<p>Hey Erik,</p>
<p>Yes, Shimano made a 9 speed "Shadow+" mtb derailleur before Dyna Sys but they might be hard to find. I currently run 10 speed 105 shifters/cassette using an XTR 952 9 speed rear derailleur flawlessly. Since 10 speed is in the same space as 9 speed before it, the Shadow+ mtb derailleur will have enough reach. I am using a mid length cage and running a Narrow-Wide Wolftooth front chainring with no chain guide. So far so good.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
