GoatLinks replace Direct Mount links to improve 1x10 drivetrains

Published February 25, 2015

MINNEAPOLIS (BRAIN) — The GoatLink replaces the Direct Mount intermediate link on Shimano 10-speed rear derailleurs to improve performance and drivetrain life with wide-range 1x10 drivetrains.

The links are designed to increase chainwrap when used with Wolf Tooth Components' 40- and 42-tooth Giant Cogs but will work with any 11-40 or 11-42 cassette.  

The CNC-machined aluminum links are made in the U.S. and include stainless steel hardware. They are compatible with all Shimano 10-speed Shadow+ derailleurs that use a Direct Mount intermediate link to mount to standard derailleur hangers. Direct Mount-native frames and SRAM rear derailleurs are not supported. The links can be easily installed with a 5mm hex key, usually without the need to remove the chain or shift cable. 

The product was conceived by Lindarets and developed with Wolf Tooth Components.

The GoatLinks will be available direct to consumers beginning in mid-March at Lindarets.com and wolftoothcomponents.com for $19.95. They will be available to shops through select distributors shortly thereafter.
