Founder of Madrone Cycles, Aaron Bland, is a passionate believer in the concept of the right-to-repair. Although most bike components are not dismountable, it didn’t stop him in developing replacement parts for SRAM derailleurs, including all the necessary tools. After that, he took it one step further, creating a completely own derailleur, with the ease of repair as the basis for the product: the Madrone Jab derailleur. And the Jab offer is so modular in use that it can be combined with various cassettes and shifters.

The Madrone Jab derailleur is precision machined from high quality materials like 6061 and 7075 aluminium and stainless steel and assembled by hand in Oregon, USA. It can be completely customized, with various options and colours. In short or long cage size, for respectively max 40t or 52t, various cable cams for making it adjustable for all kinds of cable options and finally, the kind of cable roller. Depending on the route of your cable on your frame, you can select the best roller to minimize friction.

Optionally, you can add a reinforcement plate mounting the Jab on a universal derailleur hanger (UDH). This makes the connection a lot stiffer which would improve shifting accuracy.

Compatibility: SRAM and Shimano 1×12 and 1×11 mountain bike drivetrains.

Weight: 308 grams to 326 grams depending on configuration.
