the current alivio/acera 9 speed mechs will clear 36 and have the same pull ratio as old 9 speed. Most are also shadow so more modern/sleek looking and stiffer springs.
(Just remembered they still make a 9 speed deore mech)
Not sure if still but they were available couple of years ago. Acera still have one that looks similar. Good to see progress. Just wish they would make tourney less shit.
I like that they still brand the 9 speed stuff “mega 9” ... when I was 11 it was the height of tech....
