The rear derailleur is mainly used to guide the chain to one of the toothed discs of the rear sprocket. Since each toothed disc of the rear sprocket has different sizes, the bicycle can achieve the effect of changing gears by matching the chain with different toothed discs. After the chain comes out of the toothed disc, it will pass through the guide wheel and tension wheel of the rear derailleur. With the existing rear derailleur, after the bicycle changes speed in place, the chain will detach from the guide wheel of the rear derailleur. If you continue to ride, the chain will get stuck in the guide plate of the rear derailleur, causing the guide plate of the rear derailleur to be deformed or even damaged by the chain hinge.
