The Rhino Racing derailleur is a Joe’s derailleur that has been given a small workover by a competent stylist. The black knuckles and pulley cage plates look far more coordinated. The restyled outer parallelogram plate with its professional logo is a great improvement, as is the new, more refined, shape of the pulley cage plates.

This is the best of the many variants of the Joe’s derailleur.
