haro v2 derailleur

[dr_info]

I've got a Haro V2. The bike is great but the derailleur gets off set pretty easy and continually needs adjustment. ANyone got a good suggestion for a replacement derailleur?

I would definitely reccomend a SRAM. I have one on both of my bikes and haven't had any problems at all with either one. They shift nice and crisply, and even shift well under a decent amount of pedal torque. I've had one on my XC bike for about the past 6 months, and haven't had to tune it up in about the last 4 months.

Only thing that might present a problem is, SRAM uses a 1:1 shifting acuation ratio, and shimano uses a 2:1 ratio--basically means that you may need to upgrade your shifters as well.

Hope that helped--Monkeyman

Or you could just buy an XT rear from pricepoint.com for $50.

Its equally likely that you just need a new cable though. Try lubing the old one.....

REI has the sram 5.0 derailleur for $30 and the corresponding 5.0 shifters for $35--$15 more for a bigger upgrade...it's your decision--Monkeyman
