Do you have links to examples of what will/won't work? I'd like to understand the difference between RapidRise (and non), or long/short cages.

Is this Tourney RD-TX31 ($12) non-rapidrise, long cage? Three out of four of my department-store bikes had this (non-claw version) and it worked really well.
