Acolyte Super Short Rear Derailleur - 8 Speed Super Short Cage BLK With SpringLock

The microSHIFT Acolyte Super Short Rear Derailleur is a top - notch choice for off - road cycling. It offers full - sized performance in a compact package. This derailleur is compatible with small wheel sizes down to 20 inches, making it extremely versatile. It has the same great features as the standard Acolyte, so you can ride hard regardless of your height. The 8 - speed setup, combined with a super short cage in black color and SpringLock technology, ensures smooth and reliable shifting. Technical specs include a largest cog of 38, a chain wrap capacity of 27 teeth, and a 10x1 Standard mount type, all designed for seamless integration with microSHIFT Acolyte shifters.

Using this rear derailleur is easy. First, make sure it's properly mounted on your bike according to the 10x1 Standard mount type. Connect it to a microSHIFT Acolyte shifter for the best results. When you're riding, use the shifter to change gears as needed. The 8 - speed setup allows for a wide range of options for different terrains. As for maintenance, keep it clean. After a muddy ride, use a damp cloth to wipe off dirt and grime. Check the chain wrap regularly to ensure it's within the 27 - tooth capacity. Also, lubricate the moving parts every few rides to keep it running smoothly. And remember, since it's designed for off - road use, don't push it too hard on extreme terrains that might damage the derailleur.
