Shimano LX Rear Derailleur

This Shimano rear derailleur delivers crisp shifting for critical gear changing on ever-changing terrain

• Eleven-tooth pulleys run quietly and durably by alternating tooth contact between inner and outer chain plates
• Alloy construction reduces weight while maintaining durability
• Two fluorine-coated link pivot pins reduce friction for lighter, more precise shifting action
• Compatible with all Shimano 9-speed HG cassettes, 9-speed shifters and 9-speed chains

This is a traditionally-sprung (i.e. not Rapid Rise) rear derailleurdesigned to complement traditional shifters, such as Shimano Rapid Fireor SRAM twist shifters.

• Not a good match for Shimano Dual Control shifters
• 9 speed compatible (works just dandy with 7 or 8 too)
• Mid weighs claimed 232 grams

The industry standard for derailleur design and gravity racers, Top-Normal rear derailleurs offer crisp, clean, derailleur-controlled shifts to harder gears, allowing excellent shifting under heavy load and acceleration - particularly with RapidFire or RapidFire Plus shifters.
