Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my derailleur is worn out?

Excessive play, poor shifting even after tuning, or bent hangers indicate your bike derailleur needs replacement.

Can I upgrade to a clutch derailleur?

Yes — if you have a 1x drivetrain. A clutch derailleur maintains chain tension and reduces chain drops for mountain and gravel bikes.

What’s the difference between short and long cage derailleurs?

Short cage derailleurs are for narrow-range road drivetrains, while long cage models handle wide-range cassettes for MTB.

How do I adjust a rear derailleur?

Shift to the smallest cog, adjust limit screws, and fine-tune cable tension. See our Rear Derailleur Adjustment Guide for step-by-step help.
