FAQs

What kind of derailleurs does this shifter work with?

The SRAM MRX 6 Speed Shifter is designed to work with Shimano derailleurs.

Can I use this shifter with a 7-speed cassette?

No, this shifter is only compatible with a 6-speed cassette and freewheel.

How do I adjust the cable tension?

Use the barrel adjuster located on the shifter or the derailleur to fine-tune the cable tension. Turning it clockwise increases tension, and counter-clockwise decreases it.

How do I maintain the shifter?

Regularly clean the shifter with a damp cloth. Lubricate the shift cable and housing to ensure smooth operation. Avoid using harsh chemicals.

What is the 2:1 actuation ratio?

The 2:1 actuation ratio means that for every 2mm of cable pulled, the derailleur moves 1mm, providing precise shifting.

How do I know if the shifter is compatible with my bike?

Check if your bike has a 6-speed drivetrain and Shimano derailleurs. The MRX shifter is designed for this specific setup.

What should I do if the shifter gets damaged?

Inspect the shifter for any visible damage. If the damage is significant, consider replacing the shifter. Ensure proper installation and maintenance to extend the lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Shifting is not smooth or precise.

Adjust the cable tension using the barrel adjuster. Check for any cable friction and ensure that the derailleur hanger is straight.

Gears skip or don't engage properly.

Check the derailleur alignment. Clean and lubricate the chain and cassette. Inspect the shift cable for fraying or damage.

Shifter feels stiff or difficult to turn.

Lubricate the shift cable and housing. Ensure that the shifter is clean and free of debris.
