The Box Four Rear Derailleur is the base of Prime 9 Technology that offers an affordable clutch based 1 by 8-speed derailleur that is simple and light; this makes it a perfect candidate for every entry-level bike that traditionally has a 3 by drive-train that is neither durable nor user friendly.

    Q: Are Box Prime 9 derailleurs compatible with Shimano "direct mount" hangers?
    A: No, Shimano direct mount hangers are proprietary and are not compatible with Box derailleurs.

    Q: Is the Box Three Prime 9 Derailleur compatible with other 9 speed components?
    A: No, traditional 9 speed systems use a Cable Pull that is not compatible with Prime 9.

    Q: Are Box Prime 9 derailleurs compatible with drop bar (road) shifters?
    A: No, Box Prime 9 derailleurs are not currently compatible with drop bar shifters, but we do offer a clamp for our shifters to mount on some 31.8mm drop handle bars.

    Q: How should I clean my Box Three Prime 9 derailleur?
    A: We suggest removing the derailleur from the bike and using a soft bristle brush or rag with soapy water or a mild de-greaser. We do not recommend pressure washing, strong solvents or de-greasers as they could degrade the surface coating.

    Q: How do I make adjustments to the derailleur?
    Please see our installation video at

    Q: Can I adjust the Limited Slip Clutch on my derailleur?
    A: No, the clutch system on this derailleur is not adjustable.

    Q: Can I install this on my bike that uses a b-link for my current derailleur?
    A: Yes! All you need to do is remove your old derailleur and the b-link leaving the standard hanger attached to your bike frame. You can now mount your Box Components derailleur directly to the hanger on your frame.

    Q: Can I install this on my bike that currently has a direct mount hanger?
    A: Possibly, you will need to see if your frame manufacturer or a third party like wheelsMFG offers a standard mount hanger for your frame.

    Q: Can I install this on my bike that uses a b-link for my current derailleur?

    Excellent

    This is my second set. I bought it again because it works great. Easy to setup. Only issue it comes with a very strong clutch so it takes a pretty strong thumb to use it

    Biggest upgrade ever to a kids bike

    Installed on a Trek Roscoe 24in, no more chain slap. The tourney derailleurs that come on kids bikes are basically junk. The box derailleur with a clutch was a game changer for shifting on climbs and doing drops without the chain beating the heck out of the frame. Shifts are crisp. The kid won his first race right after I installed it. Sparkle watts are real.

    Shifts like a dream

    Running this on a 11-28t cassette and it works perfectly. Shifts great under load too.
