 Great Product!Apr 29, 2010
By Chad P.
I purchased this for my old school early 90's road/commuter bike. I am using it with a shimano mega range 7 speed freewheel, and it works great. Easy, and smooth shifting!

Easy to Install, and I'm Only 12!!!!!!!Jan 18, 2012
By mommyof3
After I went way to hard on my bike in the woods with my friend (being the test-monkey in up to 20" deep puddles), my rear derailleur broke, so my mom, the real user, bought me a new one. It shipped here in about 4 days. When I got home from school and found it sitting in the box, I was EXTREMELY excited. I went into the garage, placed the tools on the ground, and started fixing my Schwinn bike. I thought it was going to be hard, but it was a piece of cake. I didn't even need the instructions! Who says fixing these parts of a bike is impossible? It's indeed a good product and is easily put on. Luckily, it didn't need any assembly and came in 1 piece. Now, my rear derailleur might break again cause I ride the bike way to much!!!!! I ride the bike every day about a mile and listen to my Ipod the whole way. I'm so thankful my bike is fixed. This is a good product and if you have doubts about buying this, back-up and rethink your answer. GOOD PRODUCT!!!!!

Good replacementSep 22, 2011
By D. Gay
Had a little spill on my Target Special (Schwinn Tourist) and the factory derailleur snapped just under the mounting bolt. Long walk back to the car. Realizing now that I should have spent more money on a better bike, I figured this replacement derailleur would hold me over. If you do your research and read about the limit screws and how to initially mount the derailleur, as well as adjusting it, it really isn't that hard to get this thing tuned. In fact, it only took me about 30 minutes. The hard part was getting the bike off the ground to test the gears. I looked on the Shimano web site. They only advertise their high end stuff, so you need to enter the model number you're curious about and they have documents on-line pertaining to mounting/adjusting as well as an exploded view that helped me to understand how it specifically worked. Of course, most of the same documentation was included in the box.
Just remember, you'll need to keep the original derailleur hanger. Just detach with the larger hex bolt that mounts it.
I'm very happy with it knowing the potential limitations of not spending upwards of 100 dollars for a better one. I'm really surprised about this bike, though. Growing up, we thrashed our Schwinn bikes and they held up like tanks. Guess you get what you pay for nowadays.

Work great for what it costsSep 06, 2010
By Khanh C. Nguyen
My rear derailleur bent from the crash. It still worked; but I finally stopped being cheap and replaced it with this new same model. Everything works great now. This cheap RD will serve you well if you know how to properly installed and tune it (like every other RD-cheap or expensive). With proper installation, it shifts very smoothly and has good snappy response. I recomment this.
