ProsInexpensive
An inexpensive solution to an otherwise expensive rear derailleur purchase.
This simple hanger extender, allowed me to extend the range of gears on my vintage tourer from 24 to 32 without the need for purchasing a new long cage derailleur. Easy and quick to mount.

Consdoes not fit all hangers
ProsCheap solution for lower gears
Cube Agree C 62 hanger tip (hook) is slightly too long for this to fit. After grinding about 1.5mm off the end of the hanger it fits and works very well to enable short cage Ultegra mech to go up to 34 teeth. All gear changes still smooth and quick.
Fits on a friends bike no problem so issue specific to my hanger.

ProsWell made, easy to fit, excellent price
Well made, easy to fit and easily accommodated a 32t cassette allowing for my standard cage 105 mech to be used without the expense of a new one. The original chain was still long enough (just) having previously been running a 27t cassette. It would probably cope with a 34T.

Proscheap. easy to fit
I put a bigger cassette on each of my bikes during lockdown. On the third I couldn’t adjust it so that the jockey wheel didn’t grind, so I bought one of these. (actually I bought two, as insurance against the aluminium bending in a fall). However it didn’t improve things and it turned out a little bit in the derailleur that holds the tiny screw that adjusts the angle (sorry, I don’t have the tech terms), was bent. once that was dealt with it was fine, without this gizmo.

ProsCost very little. Does a great job.
This part works just fine -it made it possible to go from 34 to 40 teeth on the cassett (use a single ring up front).
I also have the "Sunrace Rear Mech Extended Link" on another bicycle. They are not exactly to same, both work best on one bike each.

By
16 Aug 2020
I have a tiagra 4601 long cage with 12x28 cassette. Could I put a 11x36 (or higher?) cassette on with this?
You can use the RD-4601 with a 30t (triple) or 32t (double) so we would expect that 36t with an extender is possible.

By

I currently have an 11-25 cassette on my Campag Chorus standard length cage and wondered if I looked to increased this to an 11-29 with the hangar if this would likely necessitate a new chain?

By

Hi,

I have an 'Adventure Flat White' touring bike with a short cage Shimano Tourney 7 speed (11-28t) & double 34-50t at the front.

I find that the current gear range is not low enough for me when in hilly areas.

Would this extender allow me to run a 12-32t cassette?
Is 32t the max you'd recommend or would 34t be reachable?

Thanks!
You will definitely get the range of 11-32, you will probably get an 11-34t, but we would need to test it to confirm.

I have a SRAM red etap group running 52/36 and 11-28 with the short cage RD. Would this allow me to install an 11-32? I don’t really want to shell out another £450 for the med cage RD. thanks.
This should work for pretty much any derailleur, we have not used it with Etap, but it should not pose any issues.

Thanks
Can I use this with an Ultegra medium cage derailleur and compact chainrings?

Can you advise re the largest sprocket that would work/recommend a cassette?
Hi there,

This should work fine, However the only way to definitely confirm this is to try it. In terms of the biggest chainring you could use, again its a matter of testing as we can not say for certain.

Thanks.
Can I use this with canyon areoroad 8?

Need a lower gear for long steep climbs. Icurrent setup is 52/36 witha11/30 cassette.rear derailleur is 8050 short cage. I have a 11/32 11 speed cassette. Shimano say replace derailleur with medium cage but I'd rather not spend £180 or buy compact 50/34 for similar cash. Will extender work?
Yes this extender should work, it simply drops the whole derailleur downward to accommodate a larger cassette.
Thanks
Triple (48-38-28) 11-34 to 13-40, If I ignore 48T Chainring?

Triple (48-38-28) 11-34 to 13-40, If I ignore 48T Chainring


Hi,

Thanks for your previous answer.


I currently have up front, a triple consisting of 48-38-28.

In the rear, my cassette is an 8 speed 11-34 and the Derailleur is a Shimano Tourney TZ which has a maximum cassette cog spec of 34T

I would like to upgrade my cassette to an IRD 8 Speed Elite 13-40.

In a previous answer you advised that:

“Generally triple set ups do not work with the Extender, the only way to tell with your specific bike is to test fit it.

The reason being is the rear derailleur simply is not capable of that amount of range. “.

However, I wasn’t ever planning on cross-chaining by using the big 48T chainring with the large 40T cassette cog (I only ever use the three smallest sprockets on the rear when using the big 48T chainring up front).

So with that in mind, would fitting this Derailleur Extension device present any problems?



Thanks in advance.
As our previous answer explains, the derailleur will not be able to cope with the amount of chain length change by using such extremes. It is best suited to single or double chainrings.

Thanks

Hi,

I currently have up front, a triple consisting of 48-38-29.

In the rear, my cassette is an 8 speed 11-34 and the B-Tension Screw is screwed in the maximum amount (and with screw thread to spare). The Derailleur is a Shimano Tourney TZ

I would like to upgrade my cassette to an IRD 8 Speed Elite 13-40.

Using your hanger adapter, would I be able to do that?
Generally triple set ups do not work with the Extender, the only way to tell with your specific bike is to test fit it.

Campag Record 10 Speed

Have a Campag Record 10-speed setup with a 12 - 28 cassette and 50/34 chain rings (SRAM crankset but who cares right?). I rarely ever use the three (12 - 14) cogs on the cassette. Aging knees beg for lower gearing. Would this allow me to run a wider range cassette and get lower gears leaving all else, inc. rear mech, in-situ? (trying to weigh up pro's and con's of a cassette change with this doodad vs putting smaller chain rings on the cranks)
Yes, except if the cassette still had 12t top the shifting at the top end would not be so crisp, also you'd have to be sure that the rear mech could cope with extra amount of chain to take up.

Hi there,

Generally triple set ups do not work with the Extender, the only way to tell with your specific bike is to test fit it.
We would recommend to expect you to be able to use up to a 36t cassette IF it does work.

Thanks
is it made of aluminium and if yes what kind ?

can I fit to a triple chain ring with 10 speeds campagnolo derailleur
Hi there,

From the information provided I cannot offer any advice, please specify exactly what you have / would like to have.

Yes the item is made from aluminium, it is not listed exactly which.

Thanks
extender adapter compatibility

I have 1978 Cartlton Pro 5 frameset with 5 speed campy v3 nouvo rear derailleur and 24/14 freewheel,,42/51 crank. Will the extender adapter enable use of 5 speed 28/12 freewheel or even bigger if there is one?
Hi there,

Yes this will allow you to use a 12-28t freewheel. Without testing its hard to confirm, but experience suggests this may allow you to use up to a 30t - you would need to test this in real life though.

Thanks
