FAQs
Is this derailleur compatible with an 8-speed cassette?
No, the RD-TY500 is specifically designed for 6 and 7-speed drivetrain systems.
What is the largest sprocket I can use?
The maximum supported sprocket size is 34T.
Does this come with a mounting hanger?
This model is a direct mount derailleur, which attaches directly to the frame's integrated derailleur hanger.
Can I use this with a double or triple crankset?
Yes, the long SGS cage is capable of handling the chain wrap requirements for both double and triple cranksets.
How often should I replace the pulley wheels?
Pulleys should be replaced when the teeth become pointed or worn down, typically noted by increased shifting noise.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty shifting between gears
Check the cable tension at the barrel adjuster and ensure the derailleur hanger is not bent.
Excessive noise from pulleys
Clean the pulleys of grit and apply a drop of chain lubricant to the pulley bushings.
Chain rubs against the cage
Adjust the limit screws (H and L) to ensure the derailleur cage aligns perfectly with the extreme sprockets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your bike frame utilizes a standard direct mount hanger. After securing the derailleur, route the gear cable through the integrated wheel-type guide to ensure minimal drag. For optimal performance, always pair this unit with a compatible 6 or 7-speed indexed shifter.
Maintenance Tips:
- Periodically check the tension of the B-screw to maintain correct proximity to the cassette.
- Keep the pulley wheels free of debris to prevent grinding sounds.
- Apply a light bicycle-specific lubricant to the pivot points every few months to prevent oxidation and keep movement fluid.
