"For a tiny bit of backstory, the reason why this exists is that Ratio Technology has been developing affordable alternative solutions to keep your existing drivetrain running for about 7 years now. We've been following them closely for more than 5 years. Tons of DIY upgrade kits to convert your old SRAM shifters to run newer 11, 12 & 13-speed cassettes, more modern derailleurs, or just bolt-on cages to use your existing derailleurs with bigger modern 1x cassettes."
"We broke the news of the UK-made Ratio Mech mechanical derailleur last spring. And got a full detailed breakdown of it just over a month ago. But we've known that the North West, England alt drivetrain specialists have been working on their own derailleur for at least 3 years, even before SRAM launched their first 'full mount' transmissions. Now, the final details are in."
Ratio Technology has developed affordable solutions for about seven years to extend the life of existing drivetrains, producing DIY upgrade kits to convert older SRAM shifters to 11–13-speed cassettes and to adapt derailleurs and cages for larger modern 1x cassettes. The company offers chainrings, derailleur pulleys, and a dropbar dropper post remote, emphasizing servicing and upgrading instead of replacement. Ratio focuses on modular interoperability between shifters, cassettes, and derailleurs. The Ratio Mech is a fresh, ground-up clutched mechanical derailleur optimized for modern wide-range 1x drivetrains and is now available to order with multiple compatibility options.
