- Limited Slip Clutch™

No, Shimano direct mount hangers are proprietary and are not compatible with Box derailleurs.
No, traditional 8 speed systems use a Cable Pull that is not compatible with Prime 9.
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.
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.

It has held up much better then the entry level 8-speed Shimano I replaced with it.
CanadaShifts like a dream
Running this on a 11-28t cassette and it works perfectly. Shifts great under load too.

Im over-joyous about my purchase of this great Mech! My drive train has literally never rolled better or as quiet! Its a perfect combination for a 1x8 Drive train setup, Currently running this plus the matching shifter on my Downhill Bike! Zero issues and PERFECT SHIFTING!
