Description
The Box Four range is perfect for those who prefer a hassle-free experience. If you like Prime 9 but think 8 speeds are sufficient, and 12 - 42T offers enough range for an 8-speed cassette, then this is the product for you. The Box Four derailleur features a Limited Slip clutch and a more compact cage. The custom 8-speed chain is durable enough to withstand abuse and comes with its own wide/narrow chainring.

Using this Box Four 8-Speed Wide Groupset is easy. For normal human-powered bikes, you can choose the multi-shift option. Just shift the gears as you would on a regular bike, and enjoy the smooth ride. If you're using an e-bike, go for the single shift option. It's designed to work well with electric motors. Remember, the multishift option won't work with e-bikes. As for maintenance, keep an eye on the chain. Since it's built to take a beating, it should last a while, but it's still a good idea to clean it regularly. You can use a standard bike chain cleaner. When it comes to the derailleur, make sure the Limited Slip clutch is functioning properly. If you notice any issues with shifting, check the alignment. For the best performance, use a narrow/wide 11-speed chainring from the recommended brands. This will ensure the chain stays in place and you have a great riding experience.
