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.

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.
