Point being it has the clutch to stop most chain slap.....Sram coming out with their own similar thing though
I was reading something somewhere, maybe a video or even a conversation a while ago about how the clutch raises it's own issues. Without one the mech spring absorbs a lot of energy which doesn't get absorbed when the mech hardly moves, the result being that the mech needs to be stronger to cope with the energy which isn't being absorbed by the spring. This obviously will apply not just to the cage, but the bolts, bushings and bearings in the wheels. I'd be interested to know if there is anyone on here who owns one of these new silent mechs and how you're getting on with it.
Just to be clear I mean chain wheels not rear wheel.

it Maybe a silly question but does anyone know if any of these "clutch" rear mechs could be made to work with 9 speed??
