This kit includes the Derailleur MSH-RD-M665M (MICROSHIFT Rear Derailleur - XLE 11 RD-M665M - 1x10/11 - Clutched Medium Cage - 46T), the Cassette MSH-CS-H113 11-46 (MICROSHIFT Cassette - XLE 11 CS-H113 - 11 Speed - 11-46T - Steel / Alloy - Black), and the Shifter MSH-SL-M851R (MICROSHIFT Xpress Shifter - XLE 11 SL-M851 - 1x11 Speed - Right).

Using this Microshift XLE groupset is easy. First, install the derailleur on your bike following the instructions in the manual. Make sure it's properly aligned for smooth shifting. Then, fit the cassette onto the wheel hub. Next, attach the shifter to your handlebars at a comfortable position. When you're riding, use the shifter to change gears as needed. For a smoother ride, shift gears before you encounter a steep incline or decline. As for maintenance, regularly clean the chain, derailleur, and cassette with a bike cleaner and a soft brush. Check the cables for any signs of wear and tear and replace them if necessary. Also, lubricate the moving parts like the derailleur and chain to keep them running smoothly. If you notice any problems with shifting, it might be time to adjust the derailleur or get it checked by a professional bike mechanic.
