SRAM Red eTap Rear Derailleur Inner Cage

This component is specifically designed for the original SRAM Red eTap rear derailleur. It is not compatible with the newer Red eTap AXS or the mechanical Red groupsets.

No, this listing is for the inner cage assembly and the necessary mounting hardware only. You will need to reuse your existing pulley wheels or purchase new ones separately.

While it is technically possible to perform this repair with the derailleur still mounted, it is much easier to work on if you remove the derailleur from the bike first. This allows you to secure the unit in a work stand and prevents the derailleur spring from causing frustration during reassembly.

You will primarily need a set of high-quality hex keys to remove the mounting screws. Depending on your specific setup, a small flathead screwdriver may also be helpful for managing the spring tension during the installation process.

Replacing the cage is a cost-effective repair if your derailleur body is still functioning perfectly but the cage has been bent or damaged in a crash. It restores factory-level shifting precision without the expense of replacing the entire electronic unit.
