This is about the best video I have ever watched on the entire internet, ever! And, it saved my ass too. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. Cheers!
Thank you so much this fixed my bike. My low gears were making noises like it wanted to shift. Stupid me I turned every screw I could find to adjust it. Just made the whole thing worse. All I had to do was turn the barrel adjuster by one turn. However this video helped me correct my mistake of turning all the adjustment screws 😂. Anyone out there want me to work on your bike? I'm available to do so. 😆
I saved the drivetrain last on my build. I’ve never installed one so I was scared. Your video showed me exactly what to do and I did it! I’ve installed my first drivetrain. So happy! Thanks so much!
Your video is spot on, simple to follow and got the perfect adjustment in one go. Before I found your video, I was watching a few others, Park Tools was the first one I've watched and their video is usually very good but following their instructions on the rear derailleur, I was going back and forth on all my adjustment and messed everything up. I am so glad I found yours. Thank you very much for saving my many headaches. Subscribed!
An excellent no nonsense video. Covers everything in a very logical and understandable format. I've just used it to fit a 12 SLX to replace a broken SRAM SX12 which exploded with forest debris the other day. No SRAM NX RDs available and I never wanted to put on another SX which really is pretty poor. Just finished the SLX install and all worked fine with SRAM SX shifter, Chain, chainring and NX cassette. I needed to lengthen my chain by another link. The cassette is not 10-51 but 11 - 50 but lll seems fine. The hardest bit was the B-Screw adjustment. Thanks for a great video.
I've done lots of road mechs but this is the first SGS MTB mech I've done. I'm amazed at how tight the clearances are for these, much more so than for road mechs. Wish there was a barrel adjuster at the mech on these to make it slightly easier to tweak. Good tip on doing the high/low adjustments and cable anchoring before putting the chain on - it's really fiddly otherwise (despite the Dealer Manual saying otherwise). By the way, this video is relevant for the new RD-M5100-SGS Deore mech for the Deore 5100 11-51T 11 speed cassette as it's got the same cable anchor and adjustment screw positions.
Echo everyone else's comments on how great these instructions are! Followed these and spot on first time. The Shimano instructions have you put chain. Don't do that! Follow this video.
What an idiot! Me, not you of course LOL. I had the derailleur tab riding UNDER the hanger tab! I've mounted a lot of derailleurs, but this modern, high quality SLX threw me! They need to make that derailleur tab anodized red so you can ask yourself, "I wonder why thats's red!?" Thanks again for taking the time to post. VERY helpful.
I think mine came bent by the factory..... It does a sound after the 4-5th gear and hiccup on a weird way.. I did try many adjustments with the H and L screws and the barrel .. I'm sad now that I found that the fault is the RD.....
Hello there....let say im sitting on the saddle holding the handle and the wheel straight.....which way do i turn the barrel adjuster on the shifter to improve the shifting to the lower gear ie the larger sprockets....?
Hi, I just installed an SLX groupset and I have the same problem, the chain fall off when pedaling backwards on the 51 tooth for example. Have you find any solution?
Hi... I have the same cassette and derailleur but the shifter is pulling too much of the cable. I tried to fix it, but it is not possible. I would be thankful if you could tell me the modell of the shifter you are using in this video. Thanks
yes, on 1x12 SLX and Deore, you need to open up the clutch cover, adjust the clutch then re-seal the clutch cover. XT and XTR don't need to have the cover removed to adjust the clutch
I might know the reason for your problem. The small turnable part that is resting on your hanger (b-screw goes on it). The 'tab' as he is reffering to at 2:46 - If this is installed wrong your b screw wont have enough range to get over the 51cog.
Bluebird I looked to see if it went all the way over to the 51 and it would not with no chain even though my hanger was straight even with my low limit all the way out
@@Harry-cx1xg Yes, had the same problem. Check the 'tab', is your b screw touching the tab attached to the direlleur or is it pressning against the mech hanger?
How do I know if my Shimano SLX rear derailleur is the M7000 version, or a different version? What do those numbers even mean? they make it ridiculously confusing, there's no need for that!

Dude this is the best way i've ever seen of setting grears up. You have saved me throwing a derailleur in the bin in gear rage!!!! thanks man

I'm new in riding and this video is very very helpful
This was the video that finally made it click. Thanks again for making it

Great video, I’ve rebuilt my slx mech and this helped me set it up and I also tuned up my 105 road bike cheers.
Excellent how to !! I followed it step by step and it worked out great. Thanks!
Just used this video, shifting is spot on

Wonderful video. After I had to replace my bent derailleur , this video helped me with the seamless installation. Great shifting from the beginning!

Tanks from Brazil! This instructions save me today 8/02/2020! Very nice!
Thank you very much. Helped me a lot setting up my custom 10 speed setup using slx m7100 cranks and rd. More power!
Excellent guide, thanx a lot, these 1x12 are soo sensitive and this is a pretty neat way to have it set on one try... Mine is done! Thanx again:)
I love your vids , they're strait to the point and super informative . Keep up the great work 😁
I own a 2020 Tewk Marlin 6 and I will install 1x12 slx groupset this in few days. I Hope everything works out just well .
Thank you Sir for this video, it was very informative and I achieved setting up my derailleur easily! Thank you so much!
Very well explained and shot. Thank you!
I did this without turning off the clutch. My hand muscles did the most intense workout ever.
Must be warm. No hat. No jacket! Good channel.
Great video! This helped me a lot. Thank you!!!

Hello there....let say im sitting on the saddle holding the handle and the wheel straight.....which way do i turn the barrel adjuster on the shifter to improve the shifting to the lower gear ie the larger sprockets....?
thx
How many chain links if use 36T chainring? thank you
Great video
What are your thoughts on the rapide? How does it ride? Great video
how do you adjust the cable?
Hola, tengo un tensor slx m7120 10-45, como hago para que me sirva para un cassette 10-51?, utilizo monoplano 30t
Nice video. It is OK if the chain falls down to the lowest gear when pedaling backwards on the 51 tooth gear?
Just installed a SLX 1x12 groupset .....why does the chain fall off when pedaling backwards?
Hi, I just installed an SLX groupset and I have the same problem, the chain fall off when pedaling backwards on the 51 tooth for example. Have you find any solution?
@@yordanistornesmedina i have not found the solution yet. It happens sometimes .
Hi...
I have the same cassette and derailleur but the shifter is pulling too much of the cable. I tried to fix it, but it is not possible. I would be thankful if you could tell me the modell of the shifter you are using in this video.
Thanks
Shimano M7100 SLX Shifter
Hi 👋🏽 is there any way to adjust tension at clutch mechanism ? Just as the XT
yes, on 1x12 SLX and Deore, you need to open up the clutch cover, adjust the clutch then re-seal the clutch cover. XT and XTR don't need to have the cover removed to adjust the clutch
@@davidh7414 thanks a lot i had an XT 11s now i was confused trying to find the clutch adjuster!!
Спасибо!
The slx quality looks very close to XT these days. I bet the weight is very close. I'd say the jockey wheels are a bush as opposed to bearing.
Will this derailleur work with a 10 Speed 11-46 Cassette and Shimano 10 speed shifters?
No! this is a 12 speed derailleur.
I am having an issue where I cannot get it to shift into the 51t cog as ir will not go over far enough. Any ideas?
First check if the derailleur shifts all the way to the 51 tooth sprocket without the chain on the bike.
I might know the reason for your problem. The small turnable part that is resting on your hanger (b-screw goes on it). The 'tab' as he is reffering to at 2:46 - If this is installed wrong your b screw wont have enough range to get over the 51cog.
Bluebird I looked to see if it went all the way over to the 51 and it would not with no chain even though my hanger was straight even with my low limit all the way out
@@Harry-cx1xg Yes, had the same problem. Check the 'tab', is your b screw touching the tab attached to the direlleur or is it pressning against the mech hanger?
@@Harry-cx1xg 2:46-3:25 was the solution for me atlease. Make sure you understand what he is doing here and check again on your bike
How do I know if my Shimano SLX rear derailleur is the M7000 version, or a different version? What do those numbers even mean? they make it ridiculously confusing, there's no need for that!
really helpful! thanks mate!
Thanks!!
