| Aug 27, 2023 at 20:54 | comment | added | Daniel | Sorry to beat this to death but my alivio 9 speed rear derailleur comes with a b link so does that mean the derailleur is direct mount capable? bike.shimano.com/en-EU/product/component/alivio-m4000/… | |

| Aug 21, 2023 at 6:39 | comment | added | Nathan Knutson | @Daniel Yeah, that's what I was talkign about with multiple uses of the term. Before Shimano introduced the Direct Mount hanger that omits the b-link on applicable derailleurs, the term "direct mount" was also in common use to differentiate derailleurs that bolted on to hangers versus between "claw"-type derailleurs that attach to horizontal dropout frames without any integral hanger at all. That's what the link is talking about. Really Shimano should have called it something else. | |
| Aug 21, 2023 at 6:35 | comment | added | Daniel | Wow it just clicked. Thanks!! What also through me off is websites selling the deore rdm591 like on the orange bike say its direct mouting mec.ca/en/product/6014-185/… | |
| Aug 21, 2023 at 6:28 | comment | added | Nathan Knutson | @Daniel None of the derailleurs in those pictures are Direct Mount compatible. They're only for conventional hangers. Only some Shimano RDs are compatible with Direct Mount hangers. Moreover, it's basically a failed effort at this point. They tried pushing it for a few years but it didn't take. | |
| Aug 21, 2023 at 6:04 | comment | added | Daniel | On my green kona I took the front derailleur off so im basically fine with the middle chainring in front and my 11 34 in back. I would just like one faster gear and one better for climbing. I dont want to spend money on a front derailleur and shifter. I may just change to a 9 speed shifter and best range 9 speed cassette i can get away with and just use the middle chainring if the 1x doesn't make sense. I.want to.keep the bike though. It.fits me good so i dont mind spending a few hundred | |
| Aug 21, 2023 at 6:04 | comment | added | Daniel | Thanks so much. Whats still confusing me is in the 3 close up pictures i provided it looks like a direct mount derailleur not using direct hangers. I know for sure the orange bike came from the factory like that with no b link and the same style traditional hanger as mine. Whats up with that? | |
