replacing walmart rear derailuer with shimano
Nephew has a Walmart mountain bike. It has a 7 cog rear cassette and a stamped steel Shimano long cage rear derailleur. After the first crash he has bent the rear derailleur and mounting tab on the frame. my brother and I spent the afternoon making it work. If I replaced it with a shimano 105 rear derailleur would it work? What came from Walmart is too flimsy. anybody done that?

Altus RD-M310 punches above its weight for less than $20

but did you manage to align the rd hanger after bending? no RD is going to shift correctly unless you get that straight.

Truth. This is what my LBS stocks for to get lots of folks back on the road who are looking for minimal layout. |

Another vote for Altus/Alivio. I have a NOS M410 here that I robbed the cable adjuster from, $18 shipped. Here's an Altus on ebay with low initial bid:
