Shimano Tourney RD-TY500-SGS Rear Derailleur - 6/7 Speed
What Is the Shimano Tourney RD-TY500 SGS Long Cage with Dropout Claw and When Do You Need It?
The RD-TY500-SGS dropout claw version is Shimano's Tourney long cage rear derailleur for 6 and 7-speed drivetrains, configured with an integrated dropout claw hanger for installation on frames that do not have a replaceable or welded derailleur hanger tab. The claw clamps around the end of a conventional horizontal or near-horizontal steel dropout, which is the mounting style found on older steel-frame commuter bikes, basic MTBs, and entry-level city bikes that predate the modern direct-mount hanger standard. Without this claw, a standard derailleur cannot be bolted to these frames at all, making this version the only correct option for that dropout style. The SGS long cage accommodates the wider chain capacity needed for bikes running wide-range freewheels with large low gears, where greater chain length variation across the gear range requires more cage travel than a short or medium cage provides.
The RD-TY500-SGS operates with Shimano's SIS indexed shifting system for 6 and 7-speed drivetrains and is compatible with the full range of Shimano Tourney flat-bar shifters. This is the combination product that delivers both mounting compatibility for non-hanger dropouts and the gear range capacity of the long cage in one unit. For riders on an older steel commuter or basic mountain bike needing to replace a worn rear derailleur, this is the version that covers the wide-range claw-mount long cage requirement that the standard hanger version cannot.
