Overview

This Garbaruk Rear Derailleur Cage replaces the stock cage on a single-chainring (1x) Shimano 11-speed mountain bike derailleur. It is machined from 7075-T651 aluminum and is color anodized, available in eight colors. It enables the use of a cassette up to a 50-tooth cog, larger than the derailleur's stock cage allows, for an easier climbing gear.

Why we love it

We love Garbaruk cages because they enable riders to upsize their largest cog, they are precisely machined to specification for a swath of rear derailleurs, and every one comes color anodized in eight beautiful colors.

Why it makes the cut. Hammer & Howl only carries parts we believe are among the best in the business. Garbaruk cages are a great way to enable substantial range extension.

Questions

What would I need this cage for?

To use a cassette up to a 50-tooth cog, larger than your derailleur's stock cage allows, for an easier climbing gear. This cage replaces the stock cage on a Shimano 1x 11-speed mountain bike derailleur so it can wrap a bigger cassette. It is machined from 7075-T651 aluminum and color anodized in eight colors.

Can I use this cage with a smaller cassette too?

Yes. The cage supports cassettes up to a 50-tooth cog, so you can keep it on and use a smaller cassette too, for example when you swap wheels. Have your mechanic set the chain length for the largest cassette you plan to use. If you are pairing two very different cassettes, see the Will it fit section or contact Hammer & Howl to confirm before ordering.

Will this cage fit my Shimano derailleur?

Yes, if it is a listed Shimano 11-speed mountain bike derailleur (SLX RD-M7000-11, XT RD-M8000, or XTR RD-M9000). It does not fit Shimano GRX, Shimano 12-speed, or SRAM. See the Specifications and Will it fit sections for the full list of compatible derailleurs before ordering.

Can I reuse my pulley wheels?

Yes. You can keep your derailleur's stock pulley wheels and pulley bolts, so there is no need to buy new ones to use the cage. If you want larger pulleys, the Garbaruk Rear Derailleur Pulleys for Shimano in the 11T + 16T set are sold separately.
