MicroSHIFT Acolyte 8-Speed Rear Derailleur - Medium Cage with Spring Lock Chain Retention - Perfect for Mountain Bikes and Road Cycling

The heart of this microSHIFT Acolyte derailleur is the innovative SpringLock system. By pairing a customized linear rate high tension spring and a dual stage activation mechanism, weve developed a system that can provide substantial chain security when you need it and can be turned off when you don. To engage the clutch, turn the engagement bolt clockwise until it clicks. There no way to overtighten the bolt. To disengage the clutch for wheel removal, flip the switch. It that simple.Features-Innovative SpringLock chain retention keeps chain in place over rough terrain-Direct path cable routing for smooth and responsive shifting-Compatible with 12-42T and 12-46T 8-speed cassettes-Compatible with Acolyte shifters onlyItem Specifications-Rear Derailleur Mount Type:10x1 Standard-Rear Der/Shifter Compatibility:microSHIFT Acolyte-Cage Length:Medium-Drivetrain Speeds:8-Color:Black-Chain Wrap Capacity (teeth):41-Largest Cog:46
