Project Neos 2.0


This Neos 2.0 RD (rear derailleur) has been with me for quite some time since I begged (Trans: "Arbor") for it from a friend and a co-biker/co-TSP, Edward P. Santos.

Being bugged (and having almost always doing RD tuning) with the "stock" RD on my KorEnda (Enda Leo 16" folding bike) since I acquired it sometime November last year, I decided that I really need to make provisions as my Enda Leo doesn't have "drop-out" to install this or any other after-market RD.

So last Saturday (February 22), prior on my (our) ride, I passed-by to some machine shops along "Killer Highway" (Commonwealth Avenue) and look for a shop who can do the provisions I need. After dropping-by for two (2) shops, alas there's a shop who had the "special" threading bit whose diameter is almost exact with the mounting bolt of the said RD.

I was able to fix/install it the next day as I am too tired when I went home after our ride. So here goes the result;



Hopefully it holds true what it says that it's actuation is 1:1. Same with SRAM. Let's see...
