Review on 🚴 Shimano RD-TX800 Direct Mount Rear Derailleur 7/8 Speed by Ellington Gardner

Sorry for the blurry picture. bright sunlight. Phone screen could not be displayed. My previous switch was well used, bent and abused. This replaced the 7 speed derailleur on my Townie. It was easy and I found a way to string the chain without splitting it as suggested in the YouTube video. (This requires 3 hands, but I did it with 2 to make it possible.) He adapted well. Now I can shift into any gear. I consider it a miracle. I hope it stays that way. The only problem I had wasn't with the derailleur (which worked great) but with changing the shifter. The cable that the derailleur came with was about 6 or 8 inches shorter for my city dweller. It's a shame they do that. Send the too short cable! Why don't they send cables long enough to fit almost all bikes? You can always cut what you don't need. Result. This derailleur is a great replacement for my Townie bike.
