With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritized (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or dispatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Prelaunch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Preorders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address for the item you are interested in, and we will email you as soon as stock arrives in the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indicative purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on information given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavor to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.
Hassle free returns
If there’s a problem with something you purchased from us, you can either bring it to our store or ship it back. Ship returns via Ground UPS or insured US Mail (we do not accept CODs). We will refund shipping costs on damaged or incorrect merchandise. Merchandise returned that appears used will be subject to a restocking fee. (Labor fees are not refundable, i.e., custom built wheels.)
Returns over $100 must have a return authorization number clearly marked on the outside of the package or the item will be refused. A return authorization number can be obtained by phone or e-mail.

Code:IRD6800SS
The Shimano Ultegra RD-6800-SS is a short cage rear derailleur designed for 11-speed road bike drivetrains.
This component is part of Shimano’s Ultegra 6800 series, known for precise and reliable mechanical shifting intended for competitive and serious recreational cyclists. It is compatible with cassettes having a maximum sprocket size of 28 teeth and a total capacity of 33 teeth, making it suitable primarily for road setups with close-ratio gearing.
This derailleur uses Shimano’s Double Servo spring mechanism, which ensures consistent and equal shift tension throughout the entire cassette range. The redesigned spring mechanism reduces shifting effort at the lever and improves accuracy, providing a smoother shifting experience similar to high-end Shimano Dura-Ace systems. It is compatible with Shimano LINKGLIDE and HG 11-speed chains, and designed to work with Shimano ST-6800 STI levers and similar mechanical systems. The compact short cage design favors lightweight performance and clean aesthetics, weighing approximately 195 grams.
