Ratio Tech's Mech becomes official
Just a few weeks after teasing details, Ratio Tech has now officially released its UK-made, modular rear derailleur.
Named the Mech, it can be configured to fit regular hangers or be directly fitted to a UDH frame (the stiffer option). There are cages for 46 and 52T cassettes, and a variety of cable fins for compatibility with common 12 and 13-speed drivetrains. Ratio has also teased that more 11, 12, and 13-speed options will soon join the offerings. The entire derailleur can be rebuilt with basic tools, and Ratio claim some of the trickier elements are fully contained to keep things simple.
The derailleur is largely made of machined aluminium and Nylon components, all of which are manufactured in the Lakes District or Kent (UK). Expect to pay £345 / US$377 / €328 / AU$581. Hopefully, more to come as we’ve expressed interest in reviewing this product. In the meantime, more at Ratio Tech.
