FOUND Shimano Tiagra RD-4700 10 speed Rear Derailleur (this model only) FOUND

Found a cheap used one on eBay thanks

Hi all,

I am looking for a Shimano RD-4700 10 speed Rear Derailleur.

I have some ST-4700 flat bar shifters which have specific cable pull ratios so cannot use another 10 speed RD.

Best online price I can find is £21.99 delivered for a short cage.

Looking to spend about 1/2 that on a used one. Ideally medium cage.

Let me know if you have anything in your parts box, I have a selection of RDs I could swap it for.

Cheers

Vince

Tiagra 4700/4703 both for drops and flat bar (obvs), match to the pull ratio of the 11 speed 5800/6800/9000 rear derailleurs, just so you have more options to consider. There'a reference to an unofficial nod from someone from Shimano regarding this as well as bike shops having done it

I'm going to put a higher spec rear D with my Tiagra trple STIs when I finally get around to building my ti touring/audx/n+1 so I'd already looked into it last year.

105/5800 rear derailleurs are ten a penny on ebay selling as low as £6 incl post for used/usable ones, probably as vast majority are upgrading to R7000 or higher.

Nice - thank you for the info / research, it is much appreciated!

Currently bidding on a £3.90 RD-4700 on eBay so if I don't win it, I will got for a 5800 11sp

Got one for cheap in the end!
