Condition: Mechanically excellent. Significant scratching and scuffing on body finish from use. Shifts smoothly through all gears, spring tension correct. No play in pivots or pulley wheels. Sealed bearing in tension pulley, ceramic bushing in guide pulley — both clean and smooth.
Notes from MyBikeThing — The RD-6500 is the 9-speed generation of Shimano’s Ultegra line — silver finish, made in Japan, and one of the smoothest shifting derailleurs of its era. Shimano’s smooth convex design with a sealed bearing tension pulley and ceramic guide pulley bushing gives this derailleur a distinctly precise feel that holds up well over time. The right replacement or upgrade for any Shimano 9-speed road build.
Workshop Wisdom — The RD-6500 rewards proper setup. Start with fresh cables and housing, set H and L limits first, then dial cable tension with the barrel adjuster. Correct B-tension keeps the upper pulley 5–6mm from the largest sprocket. Get it right and it shifts like butter.
Guarantee — You put in the miles, we put in the work. 30-day guarantee on fit, function, and condition. – Paul
