Shifting Performance
Customers are highly satisfied with the shifting performance of the SHIMANO Sora Rear Derailleur, praising its smoothness, ease of installation, and compatibility with various cassette sizes.
Highlights
Quality
Bought to replace a 10 year old sora derailleur, definitely improved design over the past decade.
My original derailleur failed (accident), but this was a great replacement.
Make sure to get new cables to ensure it works smoothly.
Had to watch some youtube videos on how to use a chain tool and whatnot but it wasn't hard.
Price
Budget conscious buyers will appreciate the crisp shifting, without the high price of more expensive group sets.
Wouldn’t normally pay this much, but i needed it
Price on amazon is a bit higher than list price but i wanted the 2 day shipping.
Shipping
Product was delivered on a timely manner as promised.
Quick service, used to replaced worn out derailleur on my winter bike.
Set up was quick and trouble free.
Arrived today shipped in a paper envelope with no padding.
