SRAM X5 9 Speed Long Cage Rear Derailleur Black

This derailleur works well on my bike. Able to shift through the different cassette position without issue. It replaces an older SRAM drailleur so it was an easy drop in. It does require adjustment to get it to work right though - the lower and higher speed derailleur limit, the derailleur rotational limit and the shifter cable length. After that its time to go riding :-D

OEM Quality and Works exactly like Original - Bike came with same one and same speeds - Bent when chain Got Stuck - Shifts about the same - Not the best but priced as such - SRAM is really taking on Shimano these days

I bought this to replace a damaged SRAM X5. Like most modern derailleurs it has a plastic outer knuckle, which is likely to wear out (pivots will loosen up) far more quickly than an all-metal derailleur. On the positive side, it has worked flawlessly for over a year so far. Given the dangerous life derailleurs live, with the ever-present danger of the bike falling its right side an busting or bending the rear derailleur, I think this is the most one should sped on that part.

I had to replace my 12 year old SRAM X.9 derailleur. It would consistently miss gears no matter what I did for adjustment. Even after I replaced the chain and the rear derailleur cable. I'm not a bicycle mechanic and this was my first derailleur replacement. It took me a long time to get 'H' and 'L' dialed in. Everything has to be right, including the front derailleur and cable tension. However, once it's set up properly... it does work well and it has solved my gear jumping problem.

I used this X.5 to replace a X.7 (failed during a chain break) on an old Trek mountain bike. It shifts very quietly and smoothly now. I couldn't find the X.7 anymore, so I took a chance and was not disappointed. I also replaced the shifter cable at the same time since the old one was stretched and fraying at the end. I used a universal one also found on amazon.

Replaced a Sunrace M90 Derailleur that I was trying to get to work with one of the Bolany 11-46T 9-speed cassettes. I made the Sunrace derailleur work - but not well. The X5 replacement works fabulously on the 11-46T 9-speed cassette (with a 22mm hanger extension). You need to be aware that you can't use a Sram derailleur with other's shifters (Like Microshift - even though Microshift might say Sram compatible. I tried my Microshift 9-speed trigger shifter. It obviously has the wrong pull for the Sram X5 ). You need a Sram X5 shifter for the X5 derailleur to work. One thing Sram has going for it, among other things, is the bare cable routing within the derailleur itself. The plastic radiused cable guide is genus on Sram's part. No binding in the lower gears. Consistent and easy pull throughout. Made my happy. I would have save a day's worth of time if I'd just started with the Sram.

I was very disappointed with this purchase. I received this with a missing adjustment screw and exchanged it. The replacement came in another mangled box and was bent and unusable. It really doesn't deserve 1 star, it's a complete waste of money.

I needed to expand both high and low gear ranges on my E-MTB. Was using a 12-34 and a 38 chain ring 9 speed. Changed to a 42 chain ring and the Microshift 11-46. Got this derailleur to replace my old medium cage SRAM X5. New configuration adds much more capability to my up hill climbs and to the long flat stretches. Easy install. Used the Wolflink 22mm extender. Without that your mech won’t clear to two largest (37 and 46 teeth) cogs. Happy riding!

Everything else about it is nice except this horrible B-Screw Tab. The engineer that designed this was an idiot. This is the second X5 rear derailleur that has broke in the same place. My first one came with my bike and when I found it broken at the trailhead I thought I just had a faulty part. So I purchased the same derailleur, knowing that it would work with my bike, and two rides in it is broken again. TWO RIDES! Mind you, I do hit a lot of jumps and put my back tire through hell, but this is ridiculous. I would give it Zero stars if I could. NOT HAPPY SRAM! Not happy at all.
