Description

Description

The SRAM GX 11s rear derailleur features many technologies that are also equiped on the flagships from SRAM. The GX rear derailleur is slightly heavier but much more affordable. The derailleur is for a 2 x 11 speed cassette of 10 up to 42 teeth. That gives you the biggest ever range with a shifter group. No climb is too steep and you will not lose maximum speed when you can go full throttle.

Technologies:
Cage Lock ™:
With Cage Lock it is easier to install your chain and to (dis) assembly your wheel. This is done by pushing the cage forward and fasten it with a button.

Roller Bearing Clutch ™:
This technique ensures your drive is max. stabilized, even during most rugged terrain. With this technique are unwanted movements from your derailleur and your chain stroke eliminated without having to compromise on the precision shifting.

X-Actuation ™:
Specially designed for SRAM 1X, X-Actuation ensures that shifting remains sharp and consistent across the entire cassette of the 10th till the 42 teeth.

Technology

• Weight: 289 grams
• Material: aluminum (cage)
• Bearings: sealed cartridge bearings

Assembly

Tightening and loosening the gear cable
To loosen and tighten the bolt that attaches the gear cable to the derailleur, you will need a 5 mm Allen key. These can be found here.

Disassembling the chain
Before you can remove the derailleur, you must remove the chain. How to do this you can read here. For this you need a chain rivet tool, which you can find here. Make sure you get the right brand and number of speed.

Use assembly paste to mount
When you mount your new rear derailleur, you should put some assembly paste on the threads of the derailleur pad. You can buy this from here.

Mounting derailleur pulleys
To fit derailleur pulleys you need a 2.5 mm or 3 mm Allen key. A handy Allen key can be found here.

User tips

A crooked derailleur hanger?
A common problem is a warped derailleur hanger. This can be caused by the derailleur coming into contact with something hard, for example during a fall. Fortunately, this can be repaired! Find out more here.

Make sure you clean your derailleur pulleys too!
Like the chain, derailleur pulleys get very dirty. This makes for a less enjoyable ride and doesn't help with the durability of your drivetrain. Therefore, when cleaning the chain and / or oiling the chain, it is advisable to also clean the derailleur pulleys. Do this by gently turning the chain while you run a cloth along the derailleur wheel. However, at some point the derailleur wheels will be worn out. Visit our blog to find out when to replace your derailleur pulleys and which ones you need.
