SAMPSON DERAILLEURS
- The difference you get to feel every ride
  • Stratics RD offers a carbon body, machined aluminum cages, sealed bearing cnc machined jockey wheels, and weighs just 186 g


  • Showtime RD provides a high polish body with forged cages, nylon jockey wheels, and is still 202 g


  • Showtime is also available in high performance triple version


  • Both Stratics and Showtime are race quality derailleurs with exceptional fit, finish and function


  • Stratics and Showtime are designed to work on a 2:1 cable pull and interchange with most Shimano™ 10 speed components, so worst case if you crash you can simply use a Shimano 10 speed compatible derailleur and your are back on the road-something you can't do with Sram or Campy


  • Stratics high performance jockey wheels are a huge value enhancer providing ceramic level smoothness with low maintenance


  • All derailleurs utilize steel adjusting screws for durability to eliminate stripped heads


  • Rear derailleurs feature an inner body cage plate of steel for extra strength in the harshest riding conditions


  • No plastic pivots or knuckles for enhanced durability


  • Double point front der. cage attachment provides extra support against twisting loads, and the steel cage gives you immediate big-ring shifts


  • Compatible with most 10 sp. Chains from Sram, Shimano, KMC--- Do not use stainless steel or ti chains please
Ok, well admit it-with a Sampson derailleur you can't hardly feel a thing-and that's exactly the difference you get to feel every ride! The Stratics rear mech (as they like to call derailleurs in some parts of the globe) is light, fast shifting, and great looking with a carbon wrapped link and mirror polished pivots!

Ditto the Showtime, with a full alloy pivot bolt, and fully alloy body that is buffed and then buffed some more! Forget all that. They simply ride so smoothly, you'll hardly feel them working!

The Stratics secret is 2 CNC machined jockey wheels that literally glide on sealed cartridge bearings. Our cartridge bearings are so good that they will quite likely be smoother than many of the ceramics being tossed about, but they have the advantage of being sealed-so they start smooth and stay smooth!

For the Showtime, the smooth action of the design, combined with the 2 big nylon jockey wheels lets the chain spin effortlessly.
The Stratics and Showtime front derailleurs both feature a wider 2 point pivot attachment for improved rigidity, which gives you a faster shift under load. Combined with the full steel cage for excellent stiffness, the new Sampson front derailleurs will pop a chain on under load typically a lot faster than lighter weight cages made from aluminum or even titanium.

The Stratics front derailleur features machined relief and a black pivot support, while the Showtime front derailleur features a machine polished silver pivot and steel cage.

Showtime triple front derailleurs feature an extended inner cage to provide clean, fast shifts onto a 28-34 t inner ring!
