Really under considered groupset for what it offers for small wheeled bikes. (in-expensive too )
Only downsides is the limitation on larger cogs (I believe it was 36T and may be 1 size larger at a push and with some tweaks)
The Zee RD comes - or used to come - in two specs: DH and FR. The former was good for up to 28t while the latter was good for up to 36t.
Saint, its fancier, more expensive sibling, can be configured with the flick of a switch to either spec.
Mine has taken a few hits and scrapes. The scrapes are apparent on the lower pulley cage and the clutch mechanism plate, but it's kept on shiftin' and workin' fine. It's seen action in Taiwan, South Korea and here in Indonesia.

Cleaned and inspected the jockey wheels. So satisfying getting all that crud (and a large piece of rope) out. Jockey wheel teeth are still rather tall and square dull.
RD position on 7th gear, where it spends most time.
