Yeah.
I’m not a snob but ... does the Acera 9speeds ride/shift ok?
They’re £12 !
Most Shimano stuff does just work but I’d like to hear from someone who has used one.
I had that 9sp ‘shadow’ Deore Mech on a 29er and it was pretty ok from what I remember.

It's slightly better than the slightly more expensive but slightly older stuff, it's better than the more expensive but older stuff, it's much better than the much more expensive but way older stuff, because stuff gets better and cheaper. They're essentially the good ones from a few years ago, but made cheaper with some heavier materials.

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....
