HELP SECTION

Chainset Type - the number of chainrings the derailleur was designed to work with. ‘Double’ derailleurs are actually capable of working on ‘triple’ chainsets but they may struggle when shifting, especially if there’s a big step down from the middle to inner ring, so it’s better to match these correctly.

Frame Fixing - the way the derailleur fixes to the frame, if you have a tab on your frame to mount the derailleur to you need braze-on. If there’s no tab then you require a clamp-on type (also referred to as band-on or clip-on), these come in different sizes to match the diameter of your seat tube.

Pull Type - the direction of which the cable needs to ‘pull’ the mech in order to shift. If your cable runs up to the derailleur from the bottom bracket area then you need bottom pull, if your cable comes down from above you need top pull. Some later derailleurs can be used for either setups, these are referred to as dual pull.

Designated Speed (9 Speed & Above) - the speed of the chain that the mech was designed to be used with. This only becomes relevant for mechs marketed as 9 speed or above when chains became narrower, as the derailleur cage plates became marginally narrower too. We refer to it as ‘designated’ speed as technically you can use (almost) any derailleur with any chain, however if you want optimum performance it’s best to stay close to the manufacturers recommendations.

Indexing System (Shimano Only) - this is only applicable when using Shimano shifters that have an indexed left shifter such as STI or Rapidfire. For the indexing to work correctly when using these shifters the derailleur and shifters must be of the same type, so Shimano drop bar shifters need to be matched with a Shimano ‘road’ derailleur, and Shimano flat bar shifters must be used with Shimano ‘MTB’ derailleurs.

Easy to cut and easy to install
Size: 10 sqft, Size: 10 sqft
You receive 9 sheets of RUNSUNSPRII Car Sound Deadening Mat that each measure 9.75" x 15.75". This calculates to a total of 9.6 square feet in total for all of the sheets. Of all the different styles of sound deadening mats, foil lined butyl is the best type for eliminating vibration. This quality product has a printed gridwork of 2-inch squares on the liner to aid in cutting the correct sized pieces. Even with as sticky as this product is, it is super easy to cut to shape with one pass of a razor blade. OEM auto manufacturers use this same kind of product extensively on the inner structure for sound deadening and to block sound and air transmission through all sizes of holes and cutouts. Because it is highly waterproof, it also is perfect for blocking areas to prevent water intrusion. The very sticky pads adhere to all surfaces and are very flexible and will conform to fit many areas. Because it is thin, it is ideal to install under interior trim panels without causing interference with how the panels fit.

Solid quality and good price
Size: 10 sqft
I bought this for my custom built camper van and it’s been great so far. For $24, the amount of coverage you get is totally fair, and I’ll probably grab a second box to finish everything. It’s easy to install with just scissors and something to press it down, and making quick cardboard templates really helps for tight spots. The adhesive is insanely strong, so once it sticks, it’s not going anywhere (just don’t let it stick to itself). Keep in mind this is sound deadening, not full soundproofing, but even with partial coverage I can already hear a difference in reduced road noise and vibrations. I’m using this as a base layer and plan to add soundproofing on top, and so far I’m really happy with how it’s turning out.

Size: 36 sqft
Pack a lunch when you tackle this project boys.. its a doozy!! Month in going great so far definetly did what I purchased it to do. 2000 chevy with two p3 10s every bass drop sounded like an old firebird with loose trunk bolts. Threw this on the back walls floor underneath the speaker and the doors.. all that energy is now in the cab with me instead of getting lost in rattling metal!! Love it!!! Left a few pieces outside after I was done rained like hell on them so water doesnt hurt this stuff at all or direct sunlight in south mississippi.. good stuff pick this up and make them systems thud instead of rattle!!! You wont regret it!! I didn't!!

Reasonably priced sound deadening
Size: 18 sqft
Easy to cut with a carpet knife. I used a heatgun to make it stickier and more moldable. The foil isn't so thick that you risk cutting yourself like some Dynamat variants.
