My son bent his derailleur and I broke it trying to fix it, so bought this product and a chain tool to see if I could fix it myself. I'm decent with bikes and small projects but had never put on a derailleur before, and I've always been scared to touch them. This took me about 15 minutes to install properly, 14 minutes of that trying to get the chain back on correctly, since it weaves in and out of the derailleur differently than what you might expect. Luckily I had a second bike nearby to use as a guide.
After I got that all sorted out I got this derailleur working nearly perfectly, it would go from the highest (smallest/hardest to pedal) gear up to the 2nd gear. I made some minor adjustments and couldn't quite get it up to the 1st (easiest to pedal). If it was a good bike for myself I probably would have spent time getting it perfect, but for a cheap kid's bike I figured it was good enough and left it at that. I am very happy with this purchase.
