The microSHIFT Acolyte RD-M5185 rear derailleur is an 8-Speed derailleur that's compatible with wide-range 8-Speed cassettes up to 46-tooth. Ideal for trail, all-mountain and cross-country riding, this derailleur features a Spring Lock chain retention to hold your chain in place and is compatible with microSHIFT Acolyte shifters only.
The heart of the Acolyte derailleur is our innovative Spring Lock system. By pairing a customised linear rate high tension spring and a dual stage activation mechanism, we’ve developed a system that can provide substantial chain security when you need it and can be turned off when you don’t. To engage the clutch, turn the engagement bolt clockwise until it clicks. There’s no way to over tighten the bolt. To disengage the clutch for wheel removal, flip the switch. It’s that simple.
