Fully metal body, tuned spring tension for smaller cages and lighter chains. $95.49 CAD Advent shifter required. This derailleur is compatible with Microshift Advent shifters only — it will not function correctly with Shimano or other brand shifters. Pair with the Microshift Advent Quick Trigger Shifter (#290480-04, $32.99). 9-speed drivetrain 11–38T cassette range Super Short cage — fits 20" bikes The standard Microshift Advent derailleur is already well regarded for its ratchet-and-pawl clutch, direct-path routing, and all-metal construction. The Super Short version shrinks the cage to fit 20" wheeled bikes — kids MTB, folding bikes, and small-wheel urban builds — without compromising the core mechanism. The clutch and return spring tension have been re-tuned specifically for the shorter cage and lighter chain loads typical of smaller-wheel drivetrains. The result is fast, accurate shifting with a light action in a compact package. Highlights Super Short cage — designed for 20" wheeled bikes The cage is sized specifically to clear the smaller chainstay and wheel clearance envelope of 20" bikes — kids mountain bikes, folding bikes, and compact urban builds. The standard Advent cage is too long for these applications; the Super Short solves that without changing the derailleur's performance character. Ratchet-and-pawl clutch — tuned for short cage geometry The clutch mechanism prevents chain slap and drop under rough conditions. On the Super Short, the clutch tension and return spring have been re-calibrated for the shorter cage arm — maintaining consistent chain tension without over-loading the lighter chain typical of smaller builds. The clutch is easily adjustable and field-repairable. Direct path cable routing — smooth, responsive shifting The cable runs a direct line from the anchor point to the parallelogram — less friction, less cable housing flex, more consistent pull weight. Shifts feel the same whether the cable is new or has been ridden in. Fully metal body — rigid and damage resistant The entire body is metal rather than the partial-plastic construction found on lower-tier derailleurs. Greater rigidity means the hanger alignment stays consistent under impact, and the derailleur is more likely to survive a tip-over without cracking. 11–34T to 11–38T cassette compatibility Works with 9-speed cassettes in the 11–34T to 11–38T range — wide enough for single-chainring builds on smaller bikes where a broad gear range is needed to compensate for the smaller wheel diameter. Pair with any 9-speed cassette in that window.
