Pros & Cons
Pros
Derailleurs are hard to come by with the * of biking during the pandemic, especially 8s and 9s derailleurs. A step up from the tourney line and well worth the extra couple of bucks. I'm sure it's the oem, and therefore would recommend it to a friend.
Youtube has several videos that might help. If you go on youtube and spend a little time messing with the adjustments you'll have this thing installed and working in no time. Adjustment was needed on the limit screws though. Easy to install and adjust... Read More
I am novice to derailers but much greater than what i had working that was old and rusted. Now my 750 watt e-bike has a fresh gear shifter and runs smoothly again all through my cassette. This derailer is compatible with the shimano pull ratio for 9 s... Read More
Best part is now my bike rides like new. And it’s shiny clean too… at least for now. This version is black in the area that gets the most dirty. The new one is so shiny.
Cons
Silver derailleur is a 6-speed, not a 5-speed. Not compatible with 1x1 gear ratio. No *, just a jump. Manufacturer, what's your warranty?
Highlights
Quality
Easy installation, sturdy construction, purchase with confidence!
Easy to install works well, consistent shifting little freeplay.
Last one my bike had lasted for 10 or so years, but broke in a crash.
Very minor adjustments and turns on the screws.
Price

Unbeatable for the price, hopefully will last for years to come.
For less than $30, this is a good upgrade if you have a cheap derailleur.
The price is reasonable and it would have meant i did not need to replace both jockey wheels on the old unit which would have c... Read More
Shipping
She saw, she wanted, she ordered it, it came fast with no issues.
Came a day earlier than projected from shipping info originally provided.
Also, it arrived quickly and packaged in a shimano box.
Packaging/appearance
The derailleur came nicely packaged and in perfect condition.
Came new in a box and works as expected.
This one comes new in a new box.
Competitiveness
I really like this derailleur compared with tourney.
I replaced a tourney derailler on my fito beach cruiser with the acera.
I think most bad ratings for shimano products is do operator error or lack of experience.
I bought this deraileur to replace an old shimano c240 unit.

I wouldnt say i was using it much but after 1500 miles on mid to harsh conditions with less to zero maintenance it was in very great condition

I would pay more for a rear derailer if necessary

However if youre trying to use this with a shimano 8speed shifter on an ebike prepare for disappointment after many hours i never could get it to work with an 8 speed freewheel and the corresponding 8 speed shimano shifter just not enough range to get to the lowest great closest to the spokes
