Microshift Acolyte Medium Cage Springlock Clutch Rear Derailleur for 1×8 Speed (RD-M5185M)

Microshift Acolyte Springlock Clutch Rear Derailleur for 1×8 Speed (RD-M5185M)...

***This is NOT the super-short Acolyte ***

The heart of the Acolyte derailleur is our innovative SpringLock system. By pairing a customized linear rate high tension spring and a dual stage activation mechanism, we’ve developed a system that can provide substantial chain security when you need it and can be turned off when you don’t.  To engage the clutch, turn the engagement bolt clockwise until it clicks. There’s no way to overtighten the bolt. To disengage the clutch for wheel removal, flip the switch. It’s that simple.

This is a great groupset for MTB, Cyclocross, Triathlon or Gravel Adventure builds with a wide range cassette and easy shifting...

• Innovative SpringLock chain retention keeps chain in place over rough terrain
• Direct path cable routing for smooth and responsive shifting
• Compatible with 12-42T and 12-46T 8-speed cassettes
