Review: Excellent old school derailleur. - I put this on my e-bike build. E-bikes do better with old school drive trains because the old cassettes are thicker and stronger and can handle the power of the motor which can shred the cassette cog’s higher gears if you apply too much throttle, even with a 750 watt Bafang. Plus, the gear spacing is is wider, hence less redundant shifting. This derailleur is basic and doesn’t multiple shift like the newer ones today…but it’s very direct and precise. I paired it with a Tourney 8-speed and and old SRAM cassette. Perfect shifting, no missed shifts or that grinding clicking ever. I also like the simple and elegant design plus that it’s a direct mount. Better than the Tourney with its extra mounting appendage. All in all, seriously good performance for the price. And…don’t listen to those bloggers that say just put it in a higher gear and zip around. It will destroy the teeth on the smallest cogs because of less contact surface. I’ve started converting my other builds to 8-speed drivetrains, too. Good luck on your bike builds!
Review: Accurate Shifting - well constructed - I modified a bike with high-end components to increase the tooth count. I use this with the Shimano Claris 8 spd shifters. Bike has 126 mm rear hub spacing so using Shimano 7-spd freewheel. Purchased another hub for which I plan to adjust spacers and over-dish the wheel to fit 8 spd. But bench tested shifters and derailleur for all 8 spds (7 shift increments) and it worked perfectly. I use with Shimano 9-spd chain - not as forgiving as 8 Spd when out of adjustment but much quieter and smoother when in adjustment. Really, there is no excuse for being out of adjustment, the adjuster on this derailleur has a wide range and is easy to use. This combination works perfectly with 14-28 7 Spd never missing a shift in high or low. Crank is 50/34.

Perfect Shimano derailleur for folks running vintage 8 speed. One star off because seller shipped it in an envelope and it definitely should have been in a box as the packaging looked rough
