Rear Derailleur for 1x9s, Active Motion RD+ with Clutch, Direct Cable Pull Design, for Wide Range 40~46T, Total Capacity 41T, Shimano Not Compatible, Design with SL-M8195-R, Am

I used this on a Cannondale Trail MTB conversion to e-bike with a Bafang mid drive motor. The shimano components were 5+ years old and served their purpose. I prefer the Microshift rear derailleur to the old shimano one, and no longer have any front derailleur. One drawaback is I used to be able to see which gear I was in on the shift lever. A small price to pay for smooth, durable shifting that tolerates high torque well with the clutch. One minor complaint that isn't really the fault of the Microshift components, but I want to share it anyway in case anyone else uses this with a Bafang BBSHD conversion. If I shift to the largest cog, the chain will come off. This is due to the single front cog being pretty far to the right, so the chain ends up at an extreme angle. This isn't really an issue since I wouldnt really use the largest cog anyway- I usually end up in the higher gears quickly and generally use only the 3-4 highest gears due to having the motor assist. I believe this issue would exist with any cassette from any manufacturer, and I want to emphasize that this one seems high quality and durable. I would definitely purchase this again, and am thinking about also getting it for my son's bike, as he has frequent chain issues with his stock shimano gear.

My MTB was a hybrid. It's derailleur (stock) doesn't have the clutch built in so going on actual MTB trails was brutal as the chain would always pop off. This derailleur was an amazing upgrade! Easy to install. Easy to tune. Super quick & crisp gear shifts. And best of all my chain doesn't pop off any more! 10/10

I've only had one chance to ride so far, but it felt great. Crispy shifting, and awesome range, as the highest gear is 42t which is the same as my sram nx derailleur, but at half the price! Pretty satisfied and the installation was very smooth. Took me around 45 mins for the full installation and tuning. Tuning was very easy and quick compared to my sram nx. Clutch seemed to work fairly well, and really made my bike alot more quiet going over bumps. I'm using this derailleur on my DIY bafang bbshd ebike. Overall great derailleur for the money!

I converted my entry level hard tail from a 3x7 to a 1x9 with all Microshift components (shifter, derailleur, and cassette). I couldn't justify the costs of a more expensive system and I was happy to find this as an alternative. After a full summer of use including xc and Enduro racing in the rain and mud the drive train continues to perform very well, the shifts are crisp and quick especially compared to my old entry level Shimano set up. One feature I did not expect was the clutch. This eliminated almost all chain slap even on extremely rocky, fast downhill sections. Definitely a solid solution if you're in the market for an inexpensive but reliable upgrade.

I really like this derailleur. Taking it out of the box, it's a real TANK -- definitely not a fragile and lightweight piece. If roaches really do survive the nuclear bomb or asteroid apocalypse, they'll be riding bikes with these Advent derailleurs. The cage return spring is pretty strong on its own, making the clutch seem not quite as necessary. However, the ratcheting clutch does indeed increase stiffness even more. The matched shifter, however, has long levers with a long throw and shift effort feels pretty nice. There are two areas of improvement I'd recommend: 1) The cable stop on the derailleur is at an angle where the cable housing will be STRAIGHT IN as it comes down the seat stay. This is great for cable path before the derailleur, but the cable path below the cable stop is often not optimal. It's nearly straight-through in the largest sprocket, near the low limit screw. But the cable takes a nearly 45 degree jog to the wheel side and then another 45 degree jog back to vertical when the derailleur's in the smaller sprockets, near the high limit screw. I suspect this is by design -- have the cable be the straightest when under the most tension, but it still seems like they could have angled the cable stop inward just slightly so that the cable path is straighter across more of the derailleur's operating range. To avoid the cable from dragging against the exit end of the cable stop, I inserted a very short section of brake noodle liner before pushing the cable through. This helps hold just a very small bit of lubricant which keeps the cable sliding cleanly. 2) The clutch switch feels very positive when ENGAGING the clutch, but it often does not DISENGAGE the clutch very well. When switched to the disengage position, it often will not fully click into that position until the derailleur cage is moved some...almost like the ratchet pawls need to be correctly aligned before the clutch can be disengaged. I don't know if this is specific to my unit and maybe mine's not working correctly, or if this is how they all work or if this is how it's designed. It's not a big deal, but worth noting I think. Otherwise -- great value on a derailleur that seems like it's sturdy enough to last a million miles.

This review is for the 1x9 advent system. So this rear derailleur, the 9 speed 42t cassette and the trigger shift. You will kind of need all three (I think) as they work together. Amazing price. Amazing quality. Amazing aesthetics. I truly have a brand crush on Microshift. They have filled a gap between high end and low end. And they are honest about what you’re getting. In this case, you get great quality shifting at a great price. So what’s the catch? You lose a couple of speeds. In my eyes, I’ll gladly lose a couple speeds if it saves me literally hundreds of dollars and I’m still getting the quality I want. I mean, so what? I used to ride single speed mountain bikes. I can’t deal with 9 gears suddenly?! Less is more. Especially when the less is great quality. Thank you Microshift. Keep at it!

It works like a dream. No issues when connected directly to frame on a 11-42 casette. I tried it on a 11-46 and would not work on largest cog. Tried with an extender and it seemed to throw off everything. Went back to 11-42 with no extender and is everything I hoped it would be.

1x9 11-42 conversion from 3x7. Took a little tweaking, especially barrel adjustment and derailleur cable adjustment. Once I found the proper settings it worked better than I had hoped. Huge upgrade in the trails.

Económico y muy bueno cambios muy preciso

Perfect fit . Delivery took a week or more thereabout. Was shipped from the Us to the UK.

Bei der Microshift Advent stimmt das Preis Leistung sehr gut. Mit einer 11-46 kassette ist man Breitband mäßig super aufgestellt und die Verschleiß kosten halten sich am E Bike sehr in grenzen. Ich hatte vorher eine Sram AXS GX und da sind mir die Kosten für 12fach kassette und kette einfach zu viel geworden. Mit dem trail trigger eine super robuste günstige schaltung die auch im Gelände dank Clutch sehr gut funktioniert!

The reviews were right - microSHIFT has earned my respect and is my favourite now. Shifting is snappy, and clutch strength can also be easily adjusted. Most importantly, the build quality is absolutely mad. Feels like I'm buying a rear mech that costs 3-4x the price.
