Wolf Tooth GoatLink – 10 Speed

Goat Links replace the direct mount link or B-Pivot knuckle on Shimano Shadow + Derailleurs to optimise the derailleurs position when using larger cassettes or extended cogs.

10 Speed Information:

Why purchase a new drivetrain when you can increase the range of your Shimano 10-speed setup? The Goat Link compliments the Wolf Tooth Giant Cog for Shimano 10-speed drivetrains.

We recommend this item for riders who are using the GC extender cog with their Shimano 10-speed drivetrains. The Goat Link re-positions the derailleur optimising shifting and improving longevity.

Compatibility:

• The GoatLink will only work with Shimano Shadow+ (clutch) 10-speed rear derailleurs which use a Direct Mount link or B-pivot knuckle with a thickness of 7.9-8.1mm. Shimano made a running change in 2013, Shadow+ derailleurs purchased in 2013 and earlier will need to confirm fitment.
• Direct Mount-native frames are not supported.
• SRAM derailleurs are not compatible.

Specifications:

• Eliminates the need for a longer b-screw.
• Stainless Steel mounting hardware included.
• 7075-T6 aluminium.
• 19g

Chain Wrap at 11t (effects cassette life):

11 Speed Information:
