FAQs

What is the purpose of the SunRace SP570?

The SP570 extender link is designed to provide extra clearance for rear derailleurs when using wide-ratio cassettes, enabling smoother shifting.

Which derailleurs are compatible with the SP570?

The SP570 is designed for use with SunRace rear derailleurs.

What type of cassettes is this extender link designed for?

It is designed for use with ultra-wide ratio cassettes, typically those with a 42-tooth or larger cog.

How do I install the SP570?

Remove the existing derailleur hanger bolt, install the SP570 in its place, and reattach the rear derailleur. Then, adjust the B-tension screw and limit screws for optimal shifting.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will likely need a hex wrench and potentially a screwdriver to adjust your derailleur.

How do I adjust the B-tension?

The B-tension screw is typically located on the rear derailleur. Turn it to adjust the distance between the upper pulley wheel and the cassette cogs. Adjust until shifting is smooth.

How do I care for the SP570?

Clean the extender link regularly with a clean cloth. Inspect it periodically for wear and tear.

Troubleshooting

Poor shifting performance after installation.

Re-adjust the derailleur's B-tension screw and limit screws to ensure proper chain clearance and alignment with the cassette cogs. Check the cable tension as well.

Derailleur does not reach the largest cog.

Adjust the B-tension screw to increase the gap between the derailleur and the cassette. Make sure the extender link is correctly installed.

Chain rubs against the cassette.

Fine-tune the derailleur's limit screws to ensure proper alignment and prevent the chain from rubbing against the cassette.
