Which derailleur should I use with a Shimano 7 speed freewheel 14-34T megarange?

Question

Which derailleur should I use with a Shimano 7 speed freewheel 14-34T megarange in order to prevent the derailleur from rubbing the cassette in 2nd.

I've got a Tourney Megarange on mine and it works well enough. — ditsuke, Commented Sep 1, 2017 at 19:19

8

8 speed mega range

Or this one. Or any 7 or 8 speed Mega Range rear derailleur from Shimano.

7 speed Mega range

This issue can also be an adjustment of the B tension screw on your existing derailleur.

I think the one other variable typical on those 7 speed bikes is whether they have a mech hanger. If they don't I believe you can get a variation on the Tourney that was the correct mount.

That is true. But if your frame doesn't have a rear derailleur hanger, then you really should be looking for a new bike, just for quality reasons.
