Shimano OT-RS900 Rear Derailleur Cable Housing Loop – 170mm
The Shimano OT-RS900 Derailleur Housing Loop is a specialized section of derailleur housing designed specifically for Shimano Shadow-style road rear derailleurs. Measuring 170mm in length, this flexible housing loop allows proper cable routing into the derailleur adjuster while maintaining smooth shifting performance.
Unlike standard derailleur housing such as OT-SP41, the OT-RS900 is engineered with greater flexibility to accommodate the sharper entry angle used on Shimano’s 2nd generation 11-speed road Shadow derailleurs. This design helps reduce cable drag and improve shifting precision, particularly on high-end road drivetrains.
The OT-RS900 housing is compatible with both Shimano polymer coated and Optislick shift cables, making it the correct replacement housing section for many modern Shimano road setups.
