Quick update; did a service and found the spring in surprisingly good condition. A bit dirty but no rust. A good clean and regrease and should be good for a few more years. Ultegra derailleurs are built to last.
What signs would show when your out cycling that you would have to service the rear derailleur, I have a intermittent clicking noise when out cycling.....?. Will this service help to get rid of this noise. Thanks.
Hi Can you confirm if older ultegra cages will fit r8000 derailleur. I have a short cage r8000 and would like to swap to a medium cage to run 32tooth cassette. Thanks
What a great lesson!!! WHOA!! Building my new bike with parts from the old bike, R8000, this helps inspire confidence and knowledge, HUGE THANKS!!!!
amazing vid, just perfect! I love the feeling of doing a full RD service and it being clean and all lubed up like new.
Thank you so much for always releasing such detailed and useful videos!
Merci!
Best possible timing. Was just going to start the exact process.
Great video I have the same R8000 rear derailleur. I will try giving mine the same service.

Great video and will attempt the same on my Shimano R7000. What grease and spray did you use?
Great video, can SS cages change to GS cage to accommodate 11-34t cassette?
Yes!

Is it OK to soak it in any liquid for cleaning? Or just with soap, water, brush?
Is GRX 810 rear derailleur much different?
Hi. Do yo know if I can use r8000 pulley wheel on my shimano 105 r7000??
Yes they are a straight swap!
