Shimano Acera Rear Derailleur RD-M360 7/8S Black by Shimano

Good piece of Kit…

Purchased to replace a worn out Alivio rear mech on a CB Urban hybrid. good match, works well. Good price and delivery.

I was warned about my old derailleur during a service - showing that it had a lot of play when in gear - I was told a new derailleur is around £50-£70. That mech did meet it's predicated demise after getting stuck in the spokes and taking my bike off the road for about 2 weeks.Trying to get my bike on the road as quickly as possible I invested in this product going off the positive reviews but not expecting the world given the price. Honestly it has surprised me - not only has it already outperformed my previous derailleur but it has a lot less slack in the spring. My only gripe is that I still get a bit of gear jumping around the middle but otherwise it's been a welcome surprise.

Derailleur arried promptly. My First impression was it looked very sturdy & well manufactured. The hanger for the derailleur is very substantial & solid , massive improvement on my old TX model which is just a metal plate & is very easily bent. The Acera model makes my old TX model look very out dated' brilliant upgrade.Fitted derailleur to my old bike with no issue total straight swop & was adjusting the gears within 10 mins.. Not that I needed them but full instruction on how to fit & adjust would be nice.Took bike out for a ride after install all worked well nice clean gear changing. Unlike my old TX which was worn out after 15 years of use. Didn't do bad.Highly recommend to anyone thinking of upgrading your old Shimano TX or TY Derailleur.

Great value for money works as it should fast delivery would recommend.

Quality bot of kit
