What sets these pulleys apart
The pulleys are made of special wear-resistant plastic and run on smooth bushings. This minimizes friction and extends the life of the entire derailleur. Compared to aftermarket parts, original Shimano components guarantee consistent shifting precision over many miles.
Ideal for mountain bikers and high-mileage riders
These pulleys are especially suitable for riders who want to maintain their RD-M6000 derailleur or replace it after wear. They are also a good choice as a spare for the next season.
How to replace the pulleys
Remove the derailleur cage, loosen the screws of the old pulleys, and insert the new ones. Pay attention to correct positioning (guide pulley at top, tension pulley at bottom). Tighten the screws to 3–4 Nm and reinstall the cage.
Shimano is a Japanese manufacturer of bicycle components and fishing tackle. The brand is known for high-quality drivetrain and shifting components, trusted by professionals and hobbyists alike.
The guide and tension pulleys are two small sprockets inside the derailleur cage. They guide the chain and maintain tension, enabling precise gear changes.
This set is specifically designed for the Shimano RD-M6000 SGS Shadow Plus derailleur. It does not fit other models like RD-M8000.
The pulleys are made of wear-resistant plastic, each has 11 teeth, and they weigh 32 g together. The inner diameter is 4 mm.
The package contains one guide pulley and one tension pulley (pair). Screws and instructions are not included.
Shimano offers a 24-month warranty on material and workmanship defects. Wear parts are excluded.
