IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY NOTES! PLEASE READ THE SECTION FOR THE VERSION YOU INTEND TO BUY!


Goat Link 10.2

The Lindarets x Wolf Tooth GoatLink is simply the fastest route to improved wear and long-term shifting performance on wide-range 1x10 drivetrains using the Shimano Shadow+ Rear derailleurs. The GoatLink re-positions 10 speed Shimano Shadow+ Rear derailleurs to the optimal location for 40T and 42T cassette expanders.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible Shimano Shadow+ 10 speed rear derailleurs (clutch type ONLY) have a Direct Mount link (including spacer, if so equipped) or B-pivot knuckle with a thickness of 7.9-8.1mm.  Shimano changed to this sometime in 2013.  Very early Shadow+ rear derailleurs have a thinner link and are not compatible. 
  • The GoatLink 10.2 is optimized for use with Wolf Tooth's 40- and 42-tooth GC's and all sizes of Drop-Stop Chainrings - but will work with any 11-40t or 11-42t ten-speed cassette we recommend Sunrace Chainsets. We have them for sale in our shop and can offer discounts on postage if you buy one item and contact us. 11-46 is also possible but its worth contacting me again about how that works! 
  • Direct Mount-native frames and SRAM rear derailleurs are not supported.

Road Link

The RoadLink™ derailleur hanger extension is a unique patent-pending device that offsets the position of your road derailleur to make it possible to run a wide-range mountain bike style cassette. It is an ideal solution for riders looking to convert their road, gravel, cyclocross, or commuter drivetrain bike to attain the simplicity and reduced weight of a single front chainring but without giving up the gear range of a double. It is also great for riders with double chainring bikes that want lower gearing for those ultra steep climbs. It does not compromise the shifting in the smaller cogs of the cassette but yet it enables the derailleur to work with as large as a 40T cassette. (I have made then work very well with 11-42 but this is not guaranteed and takes more skill to set up!) NOT FOR NEW SHIMANI SHADOW ROAD REAR DERAILLEURS R7000 R8000 R8050 R9100 R9150 See information for "RoadLink DM" below.

Easily installed in less than 5 minutes by any home mechanic! For more Technical details on the RoadLink™, checkout the Wolf tooth website RoadLink Tech Page. (We used to have links but ebay disabled them... nice one ebay :-( )

The RoadLink™ is optimized for use with ten or eleven-speed 11-36t and 11-40t cassettes and works great with Wolf Tooth’s 40-tooth GC cassette extenders and Drop-Stop chainrings. The RoadLink™ RD adaper installs in minutes, is optimized around Shimano ten- or eleven-speed road derailleurs and shifters, but works well with SRAM and Campy too. It can be used with single or double chainrings. Here is a list of recommended applications:

  • Single Chainring:
    • Road
    • Cyclocross
    • Commuting
    • Drop-bar mountain
  • Double Chainring:
    • Road
    • Touring
    • Drop-bar mountain

Compatibility:

  • 10s Cassette Compatibility:
    • 11-32: Not Required (GS medium cage rear derailleur works) 
    • 11-34: Single or Double Chainring
    • 11-36: Single or Double Chainring
    • 11-40: Single or Double Chainring (front rings can be no more than 14 teeth different e.g. 48-34)
    • 11-42: Not Supported
  • 11s Cassette Compatibility:
    • 11-32: Not Required (GS medium cage rear derailleur works)
    • 11-36: Single or Double Chainring
    • 11-40: Single or Double Chainring (front rings can be no more than 14 teeth different e.g. 48-34)
    • 11-42: Not Supported
    • 10-42: Not Supported
  • The RoadLink™ mounts only to standard derailleur hangers.
  • The RoadLink™ is optimized for the 10 and 11 speed Shimano road derailleur geometry.  It also works very well with 9 speed road groups, all SRAM groups, and Campy derailleurs! One note is that with Campy it works best with cassettes up to 11-36.
  • SRAMs Exact Actuation road shifters (10s and 11s) are interchangeable with their Exact Actuation mountain derailleurs- which can easily handle a 36 or 40 (and, for one-by, are available with a clutch)- and the CX1 will go even bigger with a single 'ring. If you already have SRAM, they also make nice front brake-only levers that match their rear shifters too. 
  • Double chainrings are only supported with GS (medium cage) rear derailleurs.
  • Triple chainrings are not supported (medium cage rear derailleurs cannot accommodate that big of a change).
  • Direct Mount-native frames are not supported. 
  • Due to the lack of a clutch mechanism on Shimano road derailleurs, secondary chain retention (front derailleur or chain device) may be needed, especially for rough- or off-road use.
  • Due to variations in derailleur hanger geometry, chainstay length, chainring size, B-screw adjustment, and suspension configuration, individual results will vary.
  • This 7.9mm max dimension is controlled by the Shimano spec, but a few derailleur hangers don't meet the spec. You can file a bit of the bottom "tang" of those derailleur hangers to install the RoadLink™.
GoatLink 11

We wanted it all:

  • The ergonomics and reliability of Shimano shifters and derailleurs.  
  • The range, simplicity, light weight, and quiet of a SRAM 1x11 drivetrain.  
  • The performance we have come to expect from each company's top-of-the-range components.

After eight months' development, the Lindarets x Wolf Tooth GoatLink 11 delivers.

This project began with the desire to run 11s Shimano derailleurs and shifters with SRAM 10-42t XD cassettes.  Granted the combination can work without modification- but performance wasn't quite what we'd expect from Shimano and SRAM's finest.

When used with a 10-42t cassette, the GoatLink 11 re-positions  M8000 XT and M9000 XTR rear derailleurs such that free chain is within 1% of what Shimano intended while engagement is improved by 27%.

But we didn't stop there.  Knowing that certain situations call for a range beyond that provided 10-42t or 11-42t cassettes, we tweaked the GoatLink 11 to also significantly improve Shimano 11s rear derailleur performance with extended-range  like the Wolf Tooth GCX44 modified 10-44t XX1 or X01 cassette.

So now you too can have it all:  ideal performance from 10-42t XD cassettes and wide-range capability for bigger days.

    Road Link DM ( Direct Mount )  


    Since its introduction, the award-winning Wolf Tooth RoadLink has given riders the ability to easily increase the range of their Shimano road drivetrains while maintaining near-factory levels of chain wrap and shifting performance. The RoadLink DM (Direct Mount) is the RoadLink that fits Shimano’s current generation Shimano 105 R7000, R8000 Ultegra and R9100 Dura-Ace rear derailleurs.

    Like the mountain-focused GoatLink, the RoadLink DM replaces Shimano’s stock Direct Mount allowing you to relocate the derailleur to provide clearance for larger-than-stock range cassettes while maintaining chain wrap and improving shifting. The result—larger gear ranges that riders want and expect for their road, commuter, gravel, and touring bicycles.

    Compatibility:

    Fits Shimano R9100-generation Dura-Ace and R8000-generation Ultegra rear derailleurs
    Fits standard derailleur hangers only
    Direct mount derailleur hangers are not supported. These are not common and the stock b-link that the RoadLink DM replaces will not be present on bikes with a direct mount derailleur hanger
    Optimized for use with 11-36t, 11-40t, and 11-42t 11-speed cassettes
    Will improve performance with 10-42t 11-speed cassettes, but not to factory levels
    Does not change the derailleurs total chain wrap capacity. For details and more information check out the RoadLink tech page
    Tech Specs:
    20g weight (8g more than stock)
    CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with stainless steel bolt
    Type II anodized in black
    Designed and manufactured in Minneapolis, MN USA
