FAQs

What is Shadow+ technology?

Shadow+ technology is a low-profile design combined with a chain stabilizing switch to reduce chain bounce and improve chain retention.

What does GS stand for?

GS stands for 'GS (long cage)', referring to the length of the derailleur cage, and indicates the maximum cassette cog size it can handle.

How do I adjust the B-tension screw?

The B-tension screw adjusts the distance between the upper pulley and the cassette cogs. Adjust it to achieve smooth and quiet shifting.

What type of shifters are compatible?

The M6000 is compatible with Rapid-fire shifters.

How often should I lubricate the derailleur?

Lubricate the derailleur regularly, typically every few rides or after wet and muddy conditions, to ensure smooth operation.

Can I use this derailleur with a 1x setup?

Yes, this derailleur can be used with a 1x setup, provided the cassette is 10-speed and within the 42T compatibility range.

How do I clean the derailleur?

Use a brush and degreaser to remove dirt and grime. Rinse with water and dry thoroughly before lubricating.

Troubleshooting
