Wolf Tooth Components RoadLink (For Shimano Wide Range Road Configuration)

The Wolf Tooth RoadLink is a simple device that offsets the position of your Shimano 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 Shimano drivetrain bike to attain the simplicity and reduced weight of a single front chainring...and 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. The RoadLink is optimized for use with ten or eleven-speed 11-36t and 11-40t cassettes and works great with Wolf Tooth's 40-tooth Giant Cogs and Drop-Stop chainrings. The Roadlink installs in minutes, is compatible with Shimano ten- or eleven-speed road derailleurs and shifters, and can be used with single or double chainrings. Here is a list of recommended applications: Single Chainring: Road Cyclocross Commuting Drop-bar mountain Double Chainring: Road Touring Drop-bar mountain Compatibility: 10s Cassette Compatibility: 11-32: Not Required (GS medium cage rear derailleur works) 11-34: Single or Double Chainring 11-36: Single or Double Chainring 11-40: Single or Double Chainring (front rings can be no more than 14 teeth different e.g. 48-34) 11-42: Not Supported 11s Cassette Compatibility: 11-32: Not Required (GS medium cage rear derailleur works) 11-36: Single or Double Chainring 11-40: Single or Double Chainring (front rings can be no more than 14 teeth different e.g. 48-34) 11-42: Not Supported 10-42: Not Supported The RoadLink is compatible with ten- and eleven-speed Shimano road derailleurs and shifters. The RoadLink mounts only to standard derailleur hangers. The RoadLink is optimized for the 10 and 11 speed Shimano road derailleur geometry. That's not to say that it won't work with 9 speed, SRAM and Campy derailleurs (it works well with these actually!!), but a truly optimal solution would almost certainly place the derailleur in a slighly different spot. ...
