Dunger rebuild

I bought a real dunger bike for peanuts at a wrecker's yard for riding on the beach then realized it was far better than first realized. It is now doing duty as a bike-packing machine riding mostly single track. When bought it had Shimano Altus front and rear derailleurs all gunged up to a degree that they were unrecognizable. After cleaning and servicing and replacing the chain they run as smoothly as a babies bum, my only grouch was the indexed change levers; these were incorporated with the brake levers and so whatever position one or the other was hard to operate A change to friction thumb levers and separate brake levers cured this problem. Now in almost daily use for over a year with no trouble, Good value gears as they would be at least 20 years old at a guess.

Works GREAT with the Shimano Mega Range

Installed my Shimano Altus RDM310 and it works GREAT with the Shimano Mega Range freewheel. A noticeable improvement from the stock Shimano Tourney that came with the bike.

Easy to Install and Adjust

I purchased this new derailleur to replace an older version of an Altus derailleur that had been damaged during an accident on this 21 speed mountain bike a while ago. After bending the derailleur mounting lug on the bike's frame back into it's correct position, this derailleur fit and performed perfectly. This newer model appears to be better constructed and is lighter than the old one. Instead of a longer cage this derailleur has larger cogs that save some length. The cable connection works like a charm and after minor tension adjustment this derailleur operates smoothly and accurately.
