Bumped the derailleur on my Bulls e-bike from Shimano RD-M6000 to the Shimano RD-M5130. The reason I did this upgrade is because the M5130 is a newer model designed specifically for the e-bikes which is 300% more durable and stronger.

As an enthusiast of both cycling and learning, I’ve embarked on an exciting project that marries these two passions: restoring my Bulls E-Core EVO TR2 e-mtb.
