Description
The RoadLink™ derailleur hanger extension is a unique patented device that offsets the position of your road derailleur to make it possible to run a wide-range mountain bike style cassette. It is an ideal solution for riders looking to convert their road, gravel, cyclocross, or commuter drivetrain bike to attain the simplicity and reduced weight of a single front chainring but without giving up the gear range of a double. It is also great for riders with double chainring bikes that want lower gearing for those ultra steep climbs. It does not compromise the shifting in the smaller cogs of the cassette but yet it enables the derailleur to work with as large as a 40T cassette.
The RoadLink™ is optimized for use with 10 or 11-speed 11-36t and 11-40t cassettes and work great with Wolf Tooth’s 40-tooth GC cassette extenders and Drop-Stop chainrings. The RoadLink is optimized around Shimano road derailleurs and shifters but works well with SRAM and Campy too. Here is a list of recommended applications:
- Single Chainring:
- Road
- Cyclocross
- Commuting
- Drop-bar mountain
- Double Chainring:
- Road
- Touring
- Drop-bar mountain
