Shimano Ultegra RD-6500 9-Speed Long Cage Triple Rear Derailleur
Notes from MyBikeThing A cornerstone of Shimano’s respected 6500 series Ultegra groupset, this derailleur features precision-engineered aluminum construction and the refined aesthetics of late 90s component design. The standout feature is its long-cage configuration optimized for triple crankset compatibility, offering maximum versatility for both road and touring setups.
Condition Thoroughly inspected and serviced with smooth pivot action and precise spring tension. Photos show the derailleur disassembled during our inspection – it will ship fully assembled and ready for installation. Minor cosmetic wear consistent with age, hardware complete, and pulleys spin freely without play. One new pully in the set. “Planning a touring build or need to discuss compatibility? I’m Paul – ping me directly and let’s talk about your setup.”
You put in the miles, we put in the work! 30 day Guarantee, rest assured of fit, function and condition.
Workshop Wisdom When installing, set B-tension screw first with chain on largest cog – this ensures proper pulley clearance and optimizes shifting across the entire cassette range.
