microSHIFT Acolyte 8s Derailleur v.2

Why we stock it

We stock mountain bike components we are happy fitting in the workshop and standing behind afterwards. Everything listed here is part of our Rotorua shop range, rather than a catalogue pulled straight from a supplier feed.

Product details

The heart of the Acolyte derailleur is our innovative SpringLock system. By pairing a customized 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 overtighten the bolt. To disengage the clutch for wheel removal, flip the switch. It’s that simple.
