Why we love it
We love Garbaruk cages because they enable riders to upsize their largest cog up to 52T, they are precisely machined to specification for a swath of rear derailleurs, and every one comes color anodized in eight beautiful colors.

Questions
What would I need this cage for?
To use a Garbaruk 52-tooth cassette on your Shimano derailleur, for an easier climbing gear. Shimano's official maximum for these derailleurs is a 51-tooth cog. This cage lets a Shimano 1x 12-speed MTB or GRX derailleur use Garbaruk's 52-tooth cassettes. One example is the Garbaruk 12-Speed Gen 2.0 MTB Cassette for Shimano Micro Spline, sold separately. 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 52-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 one of the listed Shimano 12-speed mountain bike or GRX derailleurs in the SGS long-cage version (SLX, XT, XTR, Deore, or GRX 12-speed). It does not fit Shimano Di2, Shimano 11-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 are an option.
