Rivendell was, or is, selling Shimano Nexave RD-C505 rapid rise rear derailleurs (originally 8 speed indexing) with new bicycles. I have a Shimano Nexave RD-C600 Rapid rise rear Derailleur (originally 9 speed indexing. I have been unable to locate a picture of one installed on a bicycle. It is a rather bizarre looking derailleur with no cable stop and three pivots, although the upper pivot would appear to remain stationary in operation - kind of like a drop link. It appears to want to have the cable routed through the upper mount, then around a pulley, then back through the upper mount again, then through a threaded hole(??) to the cable anchor. Anybody have one of these and know how to install?
