Questions & Answers
Yes, the medium cage can be used with 1x9 systems. I also use a 32-tooth system. If you have a 2x or 3x 9 drivetrain, the long cage is the way to go.
It's made to work with the Advent 9-speed cassette, which is 11-minutes long. On a larger casette, it would most likely be unable to reach the highest gear due to the 42 tooth ratio.
They're all in charge of the 11-year-old child. The long cage on the 42 cassette is required for double or triple chainrings in the front.
No, a seven-speed system will not work. It's compatible with a Shimano 8/9/10 speed freehub and a Shimano 9-speed cassette. Shimano's microshift derailleur has a different pull than Shimano's.
Selected User Reviews For Microshift Advent Rear Derailleur - 9 Speed, Medium Cage, Black, with Clutch
Microshift, on the other hand, provides a great deal more! The 1x9 advent calendar is the subject of this review. So there's this rear derailleur, a 9-speed 42-ton cassette, and a trigger shift. Because they work together, I believe you'll need all three. br>br>Amazing quality at an unbelievable price. The aesthetics are incredible. br>br>Microshift is one of my favorite brands. They've bridged the gap between high-end and low-end products. br>They're also up front about what you'll get. br>br>In this case, you get excellent shifting at an excellent price, so what's the catch? You've dropped a few gears. In my opinion, sacrificing a couple of speeds is worth it if it saves me hundreds of dollars while maintaining the quality I desire. So, what's the big deal? I used to ride single-speed mountain bikes when I was younger. Is it possible that I won't be able to handle nine gears all of a sudden? It's more effective to keep things simple. Especially when the quality of the less is excellent. br>br>Many thanks to Microshift. Maintain your efforts.
Shifts that are free of debris I bought a Clutch Derailleur, a 42-Tooth Cassette, and a Shifter with bearings. This was my first time installing any of this type of hardware on a mountain bike, and the entire process took less than 90 minutes with the help of YouTube video instructions. After about 5 minutes of adjusting, the shifting is extremely crisp. I highly recommend converting an old 3x9 Kona Precept to a 1x9. The gear selection was fantastic, and it came in handy during my climbs. I swapped out my front chainring for a 30T, but a 32T would probably work just as well, but I need the extra climbing assistance right now. I highly recommend this product, and since there aren't many reviews here or elsewhere, I thought I'd add my two cents.
This derailleur is one of my favorites. It's a true TANK when you take it out of the box - This isn't a delicate or light piece at all. If roaches really do survive a nuclear war or an asteroid strike, they'll be riding bikes with these Advent derailleurs, which have a strong cage return spring that makes the clutch unnecessary. The ratcheting clutch, on the other hand, does indeed add to the stiffness. The matched shifter, on the other hand, has long levers with a long throw, and the shift effort is quite pleasant. br>br>I would suggest two areas for improvement: 1) The derailleur's cable stop is angled so that the cable housing will be STRAIGHT IN as it descends the seat stay. This is great for the cable path before the derailleur, but it isn't always the best for the cable path after the cable stop. It's close to being straight-forward. through the lowest limit screw in the largest sprocket However, when the derailleur is in the smaller sprockets, near the high limit screw, the cable makes a nearly 45 degree jog to the wheel side, then another 45 degree jog back to vertical. This, I believe, was done on purpose. have the cable be the straightest when under the most tension, but it still seems like they could have angled the cable stop inward slightly so that the cable path is straighter across a larger portion of the derailleur's operating range. Before pushing the cable through, I inserted a very short section of brake noodle liner to keep it from dragging against the cable stop's exit end. This keeps a small amount of lubricant on the cable, allowing it to slide smoothly. br>br>2) When engaging the clutch, the clutch switch feels very positive, but it frequently fails to disengage the clutch. When the derailleur cage is moved slightly, the disengage position often does not fully click into place. Before the clutch can be disengaged, it appears as if the ratchet pawls must be properly aligned. I'm not sure if this is unique to my unit, and mine isn't working properly, or if this is how they all work or how it's designed. It's not a major issue, but I believe it's worth mentioning. Otherwise - br>br> a fantastic deal on a derailleur that appears to be built to last a million miles.
Fantastic fit and finish on the bike conversion. This was used to convert a Cannondale Trail MTB to an electric bike. Bafang mid-drive motor on the bike. The Shimano components were 5 years old but still worked well. I prefer the Microshift rear derailleur to the old Shimano one, and I don't use a front derailleur any longer. One disadvantage is that on the shift lever, I used to be able to see which gear I was in. It's a small price to pay for smooth, long-lasting shifting with a clutch that can handle high torque. br>br>I have one minor complaint that isn't due to the Microshift components, but I'd like to share it in case anyone else is using this with a Bafang BBSHD conversion. The chain will fall off if I switch to the largest cog. This is due to the fact that the single front cog is positioned quite far to the right, causing the chain to be at an extreme angle. This isn't a big deal because I'm not going to use the biggest cog anyway- I usually jump to higher gears quickly and only use the 3-speed transmission. Due to the motor assist, I believe this issue would exist with any cassette from any manufacturer; however, I want to emphasize that this one appears to be of high quality and durability. br>br>I would definitely buy this again, and I'm considering getting it for my son's bike as well, as his stock Shimano gear is prone to chain issues.
This was my first foray into installing a derailleur and shifter. Apart from the usual difficulties of derailleur adjustment (which I need more practice with), the installation went relatively smoothly. I've been having a lot of trouble getting it to shift smoothly, and I feel like I'm always adjusting it. Perhaps I simply need to improve my fine-tuning skills. The fact that there is some side-to-side conflict is my main concern. In the entire unit, there is a lot of side play. The bolts are all tight, but the cage's end moves back and forth a little, which I believe is causing the sloppy shifting. My wife's GX derailleur, on the other hand, is extremely stiff. br>br>My main concern is that the clutch is flimsy. It's a slight improvement over having no clutch, but I can still hear the chain slapping around in the back there on minor bumps. I needed to get a chain guide because I was losing chain on even the most basic trails. I expected the ratchet and pawl design to be robust and resistant, but this is not the case. Overall, I'm not happy, but it's a cheap way to get a clutch derailleur without having to switch to an 11 or 12 speed drivetrain.
