Pros

This shimano derailleur is durable and fits my trek well. The pulley not only pivots but the arm the cable goes into has rotation built into it.



Cons

The gear arm has a weird way of coiling up. The hinge mechanism is plastic and broke at the pivot point. Very sloppy mechanism.

Quality


Easy to install and fine tune--excellent product.


Not the highest end product so you give up a little weight and ultimate precision but for a mid range bike this works like a dr...  Read More


Really not that hard to replace once you watch a youtube video.


It was easy to install and the gears shift nicely!

Price


I would recommend this derailleur, as it is what you get as advertised and at a good price.


Most of all, this derailleur is very affordable.


I really thought this was going to be much more expensive than it turned out to be!


It's a nice little replacement derailleur for 3× systems for the price!

Shipping


Arrived on time and was an exact match to what i had to replace on my bike.

Competitiveness


I replaced a similar derailleur, older model that has been discontinued.


It is going onto a cheap walmart bike anyway, so there is no need to go to top-tier shimano, or even the higher-tier entry level.

    Bought a new 34t low gear freewheel and quickly found out that my current derailleur wasnt up to the task


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Decided on this due to price and the shimano brand


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If youre a weekend bike mechanic you may wish to look elsewhere unless you like a challenge


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Because this derailleur doesnt come with set up instructions


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So i originally had shortened the cable housing to be a straight shot to the derailleur


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Because i needed more cable slack to run through the derailleurs cable path


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But because of the pulley system that this one uses i found out fast it need to be an arc or a 34c34 shape for this to function right


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    In the first picture if you follow the cable from its end you can make out the 34c34 shape i mentioned
