Frequently Asked Questions

What fits microSHIFT Acolyte Rear Derailleur 8 Speed Medium Cage (RD-M5180M)?

On this page we list chains for this derailleur, cassettes for this derailleur, shifters that drive this derailleur. Each listing was matched on a specification we hold for both parts; anything we could not verify is omitted rather than assumed to fit.

Can I use a higher or lower speed chain with microSHIFT Acolyte Rear Derailleur 8 Speed Medium Cage (RD-M5180M)?

No. microSHIFT Acolyte Rear Derailleur 8 Speed Medium Cage (RD-M5180M) is an 8-speed component and needs an 8-speed chain. Chains for different speed counts have different external widths and inner-plate profiles, which causes poor shifting or interference with the neighbouring sprockets.

Does microSHIFT Acolyte Rear Derailleur 8 Speed Medium Cage (RD-M5180M) work with electronic shifting like Di2 or AXS?

No. microSHIFT Acolyte Rear Derailleur 8 Speed Medium Cage (RD-M5180M) is mechanical, cable-actuated. Electronic groups use internal motors and proprietary signalling, so there is no mechanical or electrical path between the two.
