Is there any reason this wouldn't be suitable for a mountain bike chain and related components (rear derailleur tension pulleys, etc)?

Also it is appropriate for fork stanchions and shocks, but protect your disk break rotors from over spray when applying.

I am not positive, but if you have a matching chainring set (examine sugino attachment confirguration) you should be fine. You shouldn't need to increase your chain length because it sounds like the largest rings are the same size, and the position of the chain and derailleur should stay the same.

Maybe? If your Suntour is index shifting, it will not work. If it is friction shift (not index shift), then it will probably work. The Shimano has a short cage, probably similar to the Suntour. If the pulleys are bigger diameter, on the Shimano, you may find that your chain is a couple links short, limiting your ability to shift into the larger diameter sprockets.

Hi, I'm sorry I'm not familiar with that deraileur. I would suggest checking the shimannnp website to see if they have a comatibility list. Good luck.

I currently have this on my 8-speed bike with no problems. I purchased this along with an 8-speed chain and an 8-speed cassette (chain and cassette were made by SRAM). I'm very satisfied with it.

Absolutely. I have very large mountain bike tires. Works great.I think any tire size or style will work.

Yes. As long as the front derailleur limit screw is set correctly you should be good.

I wish I had an answer for ya', but I used mine on my mtn bike and it worked okay. It fell off a time or two before I figured out how to install it (Note to self - sometimes you actually should read instructions :) If you have a mainstream road bike I suspect it'll work, but if you want to be certain you should probably try the manufacturer. Happy riding!

Yes, it should. It worked great for my cruiser, I should think it'd be perfect for your mountain bike.

If you install this on a bike with existing cassette and drailleur on the back wheel, you will have chain-line issues. This is meant for a sine speed setup.

Yes it will. The pull ratio is not 1:1-- this has the same ratio as all older Shimano ders. The only problem you might have is if you run a slightly wider chain through it. I don't think it will jam up or anything crazy like that, but you might get a little rubbing on the cage as the chain deflection increases (i.e. while you're cross chained). Just run a 9-speed chain and you'll be completely okay. Again, not that the 8-speed chain is going to lead to a catastrophe. Shimano did change their pull ratio when they moved their mountain drive trains to 10-speed. This is a little annoying, but at least there are more modern 9-speed options available (10-speed road ders will still work on lower-speed mountain drivetrains, though. I'm running a 10-speed 105 der on a 7 speed drive train with an indexed shifter :) ).

Yes, I am using this on an old Specialized bike with a Suntour shifter set on friction (none indexed) and it works great.

Might be tight on a Cannondale or old-school Klein but the real issue is how far away from the mounting surface the arm places the crankset. I found it too close to turn the cranks while tuning the derailleur.

My set up: sram red compact crank and sram 1050 12-32 cassette...works fine, no issues, has been on my bike for over a year...though I did not determine the correct chain length, I had my LBS do it. : )

You can cut the cable to length and seller provides ferrules to finish end. The parts are long enough for mountain bike. If you have recumbent or tandem you will probably need something longer for rear detailer I had problems with the outer cable for the shifters. The sheath compresses and makes adjustment nearly impossible. I returned original out parts to service. All of the brake cables worked OK. Do a little research, I believe user ratings will explain this. But for the few dollars this cost, I'm OK with it.

If you're derailleur is a shimano tourney this should work fine without a longer chain. The freewheel tool for the removal of the old freewheel is the only tool you'll need.

I used it on a road bike build & it has worked out just fine for me. Not sure about a mountain bike.
