HELP SECTION

Chainset Type - the number of chainrings the derailleur was designed to work with. ‘Double’ derailleurs are actually capable of working on ‘triple’ chainsets but they may struggle when shifting, especially if there’s a big step down from the middle to inner ring, so it’s better to match these correctly.

Frame Fixing - the way the derailleur fixes to the frame, if you have a tab on your frame to mount the derailleur to you need braze-on. If there’s no tab then you require a clamp-on type (also referred to as band-on or clip-on), these come in different sizes to match the diameter of your seat tube.

Pull Type - the direction of which the cable needs to ‘pull’ the mech in order to shift. If your cable runs up to the derailleur from the bottom bracket area then you need bottom pull, if your cable comes down from above you need top pull. Some later derailleurs can be used for either setups, these are referred to as dual pull.

Designated Speed (9 Speed & Above) - the speed of the chain that the mech was designed to be used with. This only becomes relevant for mechs marketed as 9 speed or above when chains became narrower, as the derailleur cage plates became marginally narrower too. We refer to it as ‘designated’ speed as technically you can use (almost) any derailleur with any chain, however if you want optimum performance it’s best to stay close to the manufacturers recommendations.

Indexing System (Shimano Only) - this is only applicable when using Shimano shifters that have an indexed left shifter such as STI or Rapidfire. For the indexing to work correctly when using these shifters the derailleur and shifters must be of the same type, so Shimano drop bar shifters need to be matched with a Shimano ‘road’ derailleur, and Shimano flat bar shifters must be used with Shimano ‘MTB’ derailleurs.

Impressive Smart Glasses for Recording and Everyday Use – Very Cool Tech
Color: Matte Black, Clear Lenses, Size: Standard
I picked up the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) Wayfarer mainly for hands-free recording and the AI features, and overall it’s a really cool piece of wearable tech. The design looks just like normal Ray-Bans, so they don’t feel gimmicky or overly “techy” when wearing them in public. The camera quality is surprisingly good for glasses. Video and photos come out clear, and it’s incredibly convenient being able to record exactly what you’re seeing without pulling out your phone. Audio capture is also solid, and the open-ear speakers work well for calls and quick media playback. Battery life has been noticeably improved compared to earlier smart glasses, and they’ve been reliable during regular use. Pairing and app integration were straightforward, and once set up, everything just works in the background. My only real disappointment is that there’s no integrated screen or display. For a device that can see what you see and has AI capabilities, having some kind of built-in visual feedback would have made the experience even more powerful. That said, as a recording device and AI-assisted wearable, these are genuinely impressive. If you want discreet, hands-free video capture in a stylish form factor, the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer is a very unique and well-executed smart device.

Not Perfect but Nice 👋
Color: Shiny Black, Green Lenses, Size: Large
Looks like regular sunglasses. 🤙 The AI is pretty basic. The responses are basic. Battery life is fairly good and the case as a portable charger extremely cool. Why did I get these? FOR THE CAMERA. The video recording is good. Good picture quality and this is the only camera glasses with image stabilization. When manufacturers make wearables recording video image stabilization is a must. Here its good. The footage is not shaky. But this coolness is only available in 1080p even though this records 2k or 2.7k. The app works fairly good but a tiny bit finicky as videos are not always loading to your gallery on phone or app automatically. The app in general is cool in creating some videos but again basic and limited with restrictions. The thing I don't like is connecting to an app which all these companies do to grab your data. Seems to be more about the app than the product. They only things that bug me about this is the 5min recording limit and the flashing light that is a distraction to the person being filmed. There are no blinking lights on our cellphones when recording. You can turn off LED blinking lights on all cameras but here they claim some privacy issues. When in public there is no right to privacy. When in private property and you suspect anyone recording with anything and you don't want it then say so other than than that there are cameras everywhere. They can record us but we can't record them? We don't need the blinking light and we need longer record times. I would like a seperate SD slot so I don't have to connect to my phone all the time to pull footage. These aren't waterproof so... This is a quality product with good audio and video. Interested in any updates to turn off the blinking LED and recording time extensions.

She loves them!!
Color: Matte Black, Clear Lenses, Size: Standard
Bought these for my daughter that is a content creator.. she does cooking and food reviews.. She absolutely loves these glasses!!!! They aloud her to free up her hands and not have to worry about holding her phone or using a tripod as much.. the video and picture quality is great.. I've heard her both listen to music and talk on the phone with them. They also look great on her. She is going to add her prescription lenses to them.. These meta gen 2 glasses are pricey ($322 plus tax on sale).. But if you creat content even at the regular price its a no brainer..

I use them daily
Color: Matte Black, Transitions Grey Lenses, Size: Standard
Enjoying arguing with the Meta AI, which is often wrong until you point it toward a current source of info. Bought them for the headphones, which, like the Xreal AR Glasses. Have an open air implementation that allows hearing stuff around you but playing music others don't hear. And the sound while having little bass, is quite good. The 3k hand free photo and video camera is a bonus, but only shoots in vertical, a stupid idea. But meant to push Instagram and Tic-Tic use. In 3k you can blow things up to 16x9 and have ok results. It also answers calls and will do as much as you connect it to. You get the phone audio over the glasses for calls, playing YouTube videos or anything your phone plays, whether an app the AI uses or not. I have Amazon Music and Audible attached so I can voice command them while driving, but Serious radio and YouTube music are fine, but you have to start them manually. The skip to next song glasses commands work on these apps too. Overall a very entertaining device.
