Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, remove your existing mechanical rear derailleur and shifter, and replace them with the S500 AXS derailleur and POD controller. Use the provided chain gap tool to fine-tune the derailleur position for perfect alignment. The system is designed specifically for Eagle drivetrains; ensure your current cassette and chain are in good condition before pairing. For care, wipe the derailleur with a damp cloth after rides to keep the electronics housing clean. Always check that the battery is fully charged before long rides and ensure the connection points remain free of debris to maintain a secure electrical link.
