Wolf Tooth Roadlink Rear Derailleur Adapter

The Wolf Tooth RoadLink derailleur hanger extension offsets the position of your road derailleur making it possible to run a wider mountain bike cassette – ideal if you’re looking to convert to a 1x set up with minimal fuss.

If you're looking for the simplicity of a single chainring up front or even just want lower bail-out gears on your double without changing your existing groupset or losing shifting performance and chain wrap, then the RoadLink is for you.

The RoadLink is optimized for use with 10 or 11-speed 11-36t and 11-40t cassettes, Shimano road derailleurs and is best paired with Wolf Tooth’s 40-tooth GC cassette extenders and Drop-Stop chainrings.

Compatibility

10s Cassette Compatibility:

• 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 chainrings sure to not exceed the derailleur's capacity)
• 11-42: Not supported

11s Cassette Compatibility:

• 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

Double chainrings are only supported with GS (medium cage) rear derailleurs. You may need to change the front gearing so the capacity of the rear derailleur is not exceeded.

The RoadLink is optimized for the 10- and 11-speed Shimano road derailleur geometry. It also works very well with 9-speed road groups, all SRAM groups, and Campagnolo derailleurs with cassettes up to 11-36t.

Triple chainrings are not supported (medium cage rear derailleurs cannot accommodate that big of a range).

Due to the lack of a clutch mechanism on Shimano road derailleurs, secondary chain retention (front derailleur or chain device) may be needed, especially for rough or off-road use.

Due to variations in derailleur hanger geometry, chainstay length, chainring size, B-screw adjustment, and suspension configuration, individual results will vary. Wolf Tooth RoadLink Installation Instructions.
