How to fit a mountain bike rear derailleur?

If the MTB rear derailleur requires a little more dexterity, assembly is relatively simple. Here's how to do it on your MOUNTAIN BIKE.

 

  • Time : 10 min
  • Level : Easy
  • Tools : Allen wrench set | Grease | Torque wrench

Steps

We'll take the case of a first derailleur assembly.

  1. Lightly grease the derailleur screw.
  2. Screw it into the derailleur hanger, observing the tightening torque indicated by the manufacturer.
    Probikeshop tip: before fitting, make sure the derailleur hanger on your frame is not twisted.

The derailleur is now in place. Now all you have to do is fit your mountain bike shifters to adjust your derailleur.
