Please pardon my ignorance on newer systems; There appears to be an additional pivot point just aft of the rear derailleur mount (versus older traditional RDs); Is that a "clutch" that I've heard of on newer RDs, especially for large 1X cassettes?
Also, I sure don't grasp why so many 1X cassettes, are all silver color plating, but the largest cog is black. Is this like semi-auto pistols with a black slide over a chromed frame? I don't see the aesthetic appeal, and I can't think of a functional one.
