Are you planning to have a day of racing around the city with derailleurs fixed on your bike. They allow you to change gears depending on your speed and road texture.
Types of Road Bike Derailleurs
There are two different kinds of road bike derailleurs used for proper mechanism and calibration.
* '''Front Road Bike Derailleur: '''Front road bike derailleurs are high performance derailleurs which make shifting easier with precision. They are compatible with both standard and compact bikes.
* '''Rear Road Bike Derailleur: '''Rear road bike derailleur is another type of derailleur which is compatible with both compact and standard bikes. They feature wide link designs which increase rigidity and allow smooth shifting of gears.
* Check out for derailleurs which can be used both for road bikes if you are a mountain biker.
Points to Remember
* The total capacity of the rear derailleur.
* The tooth capacity of the existing front derailleur.
* Look for short cage derailleurs as they help in keeping the chain tight.
