## Description

Utilizing the SHIMANO SHADOW RD+ design, the SHIMANO DEORE M5120 rear derailleur delivers consistent MTB shifting performance over rough terrain. The low profile design avoids damage from rocks whiles SHIMANO's chain stabilizing technology reduces chain drop and makes for a quiet drivetrain in all gear positions.

Review: Well worth it - This thing exceeded my expectations. I was upgrading my mountain bike from a 3X9 to a 2X11. The clutch feature is awesome. I have not had a single chain slap or chain disengagement from the chain rings. It keeps good tension on the chain to prevent both of those situations. However,I did have to adjust the clutch out of the box, because it was set too tight from the manufacturer. Once I learned how to do it it was fairly simple. You can find out how to do it on YouTube. Like I said, though this is far exceeded my expectations: it shifts cleanly, and the clutch feature (I didn’t even know was a thing) was a nice surprise.
Review: good - excellent shifting

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have an older mtn bike with a 10speed deore. Can I run this derailleur with my current shimano 10sp shifter? The shimano deore sl-m610?**
A: I believe that Shimano's 10 spd mtn shifters are pretty much the same, regardless of the year. I'm using a 10 spd Zee shifter with it and it works fine.

**Q: will this work on a 10 s road bike with 11x42 (rear)?**
A: I honestly don't know, but it is designed for use with 42-46T cassettes as long as the shifter has the same pull ratio, theoretically it will work with both 10- and 11-speed shifters. Google says a mtb derailleur should work.

**Q: Can i use this with my 9 speed shifter and 9 speed cassette?**
A: Not out of the box. When Shimano went to 10 speed, they altered the shifter/derailleur pull. JTek may make a pulley that will allow you to do so, but you'll need to visit their website and pore through the compatibility charts there. If you find one, then you'll need to find a retailer that carries it. Honestly, it would be easier just to find a 9 speed derailleur unless you already have this derailleur and need to find a solution to get it to work.

**Q: Will this fit a 11t-46t 10 speed cassette?**
A: Yes it will. I just did mine

excellent shifting

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for my restoration project
*by C***S on July 13, 2024*

I put this on my vintage GT mountain bike as part of an updated 1x drivetrain. Works great! It shifts perfectly with very easy set up. Don’t make the mistake I did… I first tried to pair it with a 11-48 cassette but quickly realized it wouldn’t work, looked closer at the description, and saw that it maxes out with a 46t gear. No big deal though. Got an appropriate cassette and it all came together perfectly.
