Dengfu E10 Frame with RD-M8000

[Bafangrider]

Hi Guys,

I'm currently building up a Dengfu E10. Im a little stuck with my derailleur. It doesnt look like its in the right position as the cable entry seems pretty close to the frame. Am I doing something dumb here?

I will let you know, I am almost to the point on mine, and I am no expert. Did you ever get an answer or figure it out?
Cheers, Mike

Yes.

You need what is called a "bracket axle unit"

Its sold as a separate part from shimano

Shimano XT RD-M8000 Rear Derailleur Bracket Axle Unit, "B" fit for SLX RD-M7000-11

Wonder why the Shimano Rear Derailleur Parts is a mountain biker favorite in the Miscellaneous Rear Derailleur Part collection? Part #Y5RT98010. Shimano Miscellaneous Rear Derailleur Parts For repairs on Shimano Rear Derailleur
