WolfTooth Goatlink

The GoatLink is simply the fastest route to improving wear and long-term shift performance on 1x10 wide-range drivetrains using Shimano Shadow+ rear derailleurs. The GoatLink, made by Lindarets and Wolf Tooth, re-positions 10-speed Shimano Shadow+ rear derailleurs into the optimal position when using GC 40T and GC 42T cassette expanders.

COMPATIBILITY

Compatible Shimano Shadow+ 10-speed rear derailleurs (clutch type ONLY) have either a Direct Mount link (including the spacer, if so equipped) or a B-pivot with a thickness of 7.9-8.1mm. Shimano switched to this sometime in 2013. Early Shadow+ rear derailleurs have a thinner link and are not compatible.

• The GoatLink is optimized for use with Wolf Tooth GCs 40 and 42 tooth and all Drop-Stop chainring sizes - but it will work with any 10-speed 11-40t or 11-42t cassette. 
  
• Direct Mount-native frames and SRAM rear derailleurs are not compatible. 
  
• You will NEVER need a longer B-screw with the GoatLink.
