IMPORTANT NOTICE

For safety, be sure to read this dealer's manual thoroughly before use, and

follow it for correct use.

The following instructions must be observed at all times in order to prevent personal injury and physical damage to

equipment and surroundings.

The instructions are classified according to the degree of danger or damage which may occur if the product is used

incorrectly.

DANGER Failure to follow the instructions will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING Failure to follow the instructions could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION Failure to follow the instructions could cause personal injury or physical damage to equipment and

surroundings.

This dealer's manual is intended primarily for use by professional bicycle mechanics.

Users who are not professionally trained for bicycle assembly should not attempt to install the components

themselves using the dealer's manuals.

If any part of the information on the manual is unclear to you, do not proceed with the installation. Instead,

contact your place of purchase or a distributor for assistance.

Make sure to read all manuals included with each product.

Do not disassemble or modify the product other than as stated in the information contained in this dealer's

manual.

All manuals and technical documents are accessible online at https://si.shimano.com .

For consumers who do not have easy access to the internet, please contact a SHIMANO distributor or any of

the SHIMANO offices to obtain a hardcopy of the user's manual.

Please observe the appropriate rules and regulations of the country, state or region in which you conduct your

business as a dealer.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

TO ENSURE SAFETY

Be sure to also inform users of the following:

For installation to the bicycle and maintenance

Be sure to follow the instructions provided in the manuals when installing the product.

Only use SHIMANO genuine parts. If a component or replacement part is incorrectly assembled or adjusted, it

can lead to component failure and cause the rider to lose control and crash.

Wear approved eye protection while performing maintenance tasks such as replacing components.

Clean the chain and QUICK-LINK with an appropriate chain cleaner regularly. Intervals between maintenance

depend on the use and riding circumstances. Never use alkali- or acid-based solvents such as rust cleaners. If

those solvents are used the chain or QUICK-LINK might break and cause serious injury.

Check the chain for any damage (deformation or cracking), skipping, or other abnormalities such as

unintended gear shifting. If any problems are found, consult your place of purchase or a distributor. The chain

may break, and you may fall.

Do not allow the wheel to turn while securing the inner cable and installing the inner end cap. Otherwise, you

may touch the wheel and be injured.

TO ENSURE SAFETY

Be sure to also inform users of the following:

For installation to the bicycle and maintenance

The actual product may differ from the illustration because this manual is

intended mainly to explain the procedures for using the product.

For SHADOW RD+, be sure to check that the plate unit cover and the plate unit rubber cap are installed

before riding the bicycle.

If gear shifting operation does not feel smooth, consult the place of purchase for assistance.

The gears should be periodically washed with a neutral detergent then lubricated. In addition, cleaning the

chain and QUICK-LINK with a neutral detergent and lubricating them can be an effective way of extending

the life of the chain and QUICK-LINK.

Products are not guaranteed against natural wear and deterioration from normal use and aging.

For maximum performance we highly recommend SHIMANO lubricants and maintenance products.

Depending on the shape of the frame, the rear derailleur may interfere with the chainstay. Use the B-screw to

adjust so that the rear derailleur does not interfere with the chainstay.

Grease with SIS SP41 Grease (Y04180000) the inner cable and the sliding portions of the outer casing before

use to ensure that they slide properly. Do not let dust adhere to the inner cable.

Use an OT-SP41 outer casing and a cable guide for smooth operation.

Use an outer casing which still has some length to spare even when the handlebars are turned all the way to

either side. Furthermore, check that the shift lever does not touch the bicycle frame when the handles are

turned all the way.

If gear shifting adjustments cannot be carried out, check the alignment of the rear dropout and check if the

cable is lubricated or if the outer casing is too long or too short.

Periodically clean the shifting unit and lubricate all moving parts (mechanism and pulleys).

Note the installation direction of the pulleys. Depending on the model, the pulley has arrows on it to indicate

the direction of rotation. Install the pulley so that the arrows are pointing counterclockwise when looking at

the outer side of the shifting unit.

If you hear abnormal noise as a result of excess play in a pulley, you should replace the pulley.

Before using RD-M8130 / RD-M5130 and other LINKGLIDE products, check the combinations listed in the

compatibility information ( https://productinfo.shimano.com/#/com ). Other products cannot be used because

the specifications do not match.

Installation/removal Installing the rear derailleur

The rear derailleur will not gear shift properly if the derailleur hanger is not straight. Use TL-RD11 to

check whether the derailleur hanger is straight or not.

It is recommended to move the switch lever to the ON position while riding to reduce chain slap and to

help prevent the chain from falling off the sprockets.

Set the switch lever in the OFF position.

Tighten the rear derailleur mounting screw.

Be careful not to insert the rear derailleur mounting screw in the derailleur hanger at an angle. In addition,

be sure to install the rear derailleur so that the stopper plate contacts the B-tension stop, with no gap in

between.

The rear derailleur plate assembly is equipped with a pin or plate that prevents chain derailment.

When passing the chain through the rear derailleur, pass it through the main body of the rear

derailleur from the side of the chain derailment prevention plate as shown in the figure.

If the chain is not passed through the correct position, damage may be caused to the chain or the

rear derailleur.

Chain derailment prevention plate

For full suspension bikes, length [a] will vary according to the movement of the rear suspension.

After shifting to the largest chainring and the largest sprocket, make sure that the chain length is

not too short when dimension [a] is at its maximum extension.

If the chain length is too short, drivetrain components may be damaged due to excessive load on

the drivetrain.

of the outer casing holder on the rear derailleur.

Make sure to leave enough slack in the outer casing.

The length of the outer casing may be insufficient as the rear suspension moves through its travel.

Determine the appropriate length at the point in the suspension travel where the potential length

of the outer casing is the greatest.

If the motion of the rear derailleur is extreme, such as in bicycles with a rear suspension, replacing

the sealed outer cap with the supplied aluminum type sealed outer cap is recommended.

For RD-M9100 / RD-M9120, replacing the cover with tongue is recommended when replacing the

inner cable.

Cables with a polymer coating may develop a fuzzy appearance or texture through natural wear

when used. However, if the cables are installed with care according to the procedures outlined in

this manual, this is strictly cosmetic and performance will not be affected where the inner cables are

housed by outer casing.

2.

Remove the initial slack from the inner cable.

Hold the rear derailleur so that it won't move under load from the shift cable. Operate the shift lever several

times in order to tension the shift cable assembly and fully seat all the shift cable components.

3.

Re-secure the inner cable to the rear derailleur.

While pulling the inner cable, be sure that it is securely in the cable fixing groove.

For bicycles with front double chainrings, shift to the largest chainring.

If the chain rubs against the larger adjacent sprocket and makes noise while turning the crank, turn

the cable adjustment barrel clockwise until there is no noise.
