The RoadLink derailleur hanger extension is a unique patented device that offsets the position of your 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 drivetrain bike to attain the simplicity and reduced weight of a single front chainring but 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. It does not compromise the shifting in the smaller cogs of the cassette but yet it enables the derailleur to work with as large as a 40T cassette.
Compatibility
| Roadlink | 10s Cassette Compatibility | 10s Cassette Compatibility | Derailleur Compatibility | Compatibility Issues |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Direct Mount (DM) | – | Optimized for use with 11-36t, 11-40t, and 11-42t 11-speed cassettes | Shimano R9100-generation Dura-Ace, R8000-generation Ultegra, RX800 and RX805 Ultegra, and R7000 105 rear derailleurs Optimized for use with GRX ultra wide range drivetrains when using the GRX 810 (RX810) rear derailleur Fits standard derailleur hangers only | Direct mount derailleur hangers are not supported. These are not common and the stock b-link that the RoadLink DM replaces will not be present on bikes with a direct mount derailleur hanger |
| 10/ 11 Speed | 11-32: Not Required (GS Cage RD works) 11-34: Single (for double chainring be sure to not exceed the derailleur’s capacity) 11-36: Single (for double chainring be sure to not exceed the derailleur’s capacity) 11-40: Single (for double chainring be sure to not exceed the derailleur’s capacity) 11-42: Not supported | 11-32: Not Required (GS medium cage rear derailleur works) 11-34: Single (for double chainring be sure to not exceed the derailleur’s capacity) 11-36: Single (for double chainring be sure to not exceed the derailleur’s capacity) 11-40: Single (for double chainring be sure to not exceed the derailleur’s capacity) 11-42: Not supported 10-42: Not supported | The RoadLink is optimized for the 10- and 11-speed Shimano road derailleur geometry. It also works very well with 9-speed road derailleurs. Traditional SRAM derailleurs. Campy derailleurs work best with cassettes up to 11-36. | Triple chainrings are not supported (medium cage rear derailleurs cannot accommodate that much range). 1x specific SRAM X-HORIZON rear derailleurs. |
Note:
RoadLink repositions your derailleur to provide clearance for larger cassette cogs but it does not increase derailleur capacity. It is critical to find and understand your derailleur’s capacity before attempting to expand its gear range.
Double chainrings are only supported with GS (medium cage) rear derailleurs. You may need to change the front gearing so the rear derailleurs capacity is not exceeded.
