The Acolyte 8-Speed Rear Mech features our proprietary SpringLock system, a dual-stage mechanism combining precision spring calibration with intuitive engagement control. This design delivers robust chain retention when active, yet disengages effortlessly for maintenance and wheel removal. Activation is straightforward: rotate the engagement bolt clockwise until it clicks, with built-in safeguards preventing over-tightening. A simple flip-switch releases the clutch instantly, eliminating complexity during service. The result is a derailleur that balances security with practicality, adapting to your riding demands without compromise.
