Choosing a Rear Deraileur
Hi I purchased a used Kona Blast. It is an 8 speed with 3 at the front for a total of 24 gears. The original deraileur was a Shimano STX-RC which i believe was long cage. Original bike specs , 30T , 11T rear and 42T, 22T on the front, max capacity of 39. I changed the rear wheel only and the back cassette so the new specs are 32T,11T on the rear giving a max capacity of 41. I am looking for a replacement deraileur, I just want to confirm that this one would be suitable:
Shimano Claris RD-R2000 Rear Derailleur GS
Min cog size : 11T
Max cog size : 32T (SS), 34T (GS)
Max front difference : 16T (SS), GS 20T
Capacity : 37T (SS), 43T (GS)
Specifications:
GS Cage:
Cage: GS
Max Front Difference: 20T
Maximum Cog: 34T
Minimum Cog: 11T
Primary Color: Grey
RD Capacity: 43T
Speed: 8
Thanks for your help.
