Frequently Asked Questions
What fits Shimano TOURNEY TZ MEDIUM CAGE REAR DERAILLEUR 6s?
On this page we list shifters that drive this derailleur, cassettes for this derailleur, chains for 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 Shimano TOURNEY TZ MEDIUM CAGE REAR DERAILLEUR 6s?
No. Shimano TOURNEY TZ MEDIUM CAGE REAR DERAILLEUR 6s is a 6-speed component and needs a 6-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.
