Deore RD-M6000 Shadow RD+ 10-Speed Rear Derailleur

Shimano's Deore Shadow+ Rear Derailleur is packed with top - notch mountain bike tech. Its Shadow design cleverly positions the derailleur closer to the wheel, safeguarding it from damage caused by rocks, roots, and trail hurdles. When you shift gears, Shimano's Dyna - Sys offers smooth and consistent shifting throughout the cassette. The Shadow+ clutch significantly enhances chain control, almost getting rid of chain slap and extra noise with its built - in cage - tensioning clutch. It comes in two options: Medium Cage for 2x10 drivetrains and Long Cage for 3x10 drivetrains.

Using this rear derailleur is easy. First, make sure it's properly installed on your mountain bike according to the drivetrain type (2x10 or 3x10). When you shift gears, just use your bike's shifter as you normally would, and you'll feel the smoothness. As for maintenance, regularly clean the derailleur with a soft cloth to remove dirt and debris. Check the chain tension and the clutch regularly to ensure they're working well. If you notice any unusual noise or difficulty in shifting, it might need adjustment. Also, be careful when riding on rough trails to avoid hitting the derailleur against rocks or other obstacles.
