the rear derailleur was busted so i needed a replacement. this bike has no hanger bolt it needs a claw style one. i could’ve used a claw adaptor and a higher end derailleur. but given the utility of this bike i decided on a cheapier Shimano Tourney Megarange for $10 hanger included. It works fine, doesn’t look too bad–though the red lower pulley is a pretty cheap plastic. But i can buy 5-6 of these for an XT derailleur. As a disclaimer I have an XT derailleur on another bike.
