I've been determined to learn how to tune up my own bike, but got lost at this point. This video was SO helpful. I no longer have to wait 2-3 weeks to ride again while my bike is in the shop + I get to save some money! Super clear descriptions, showing how to break it and fix it was insanely helpful. Great audio, camera angles. All in all, you're putting out something that really is high quality. Thank you!! You'll be my first stop when I get stuck again.
Really like how you started with how there are (3) adjustments and made it simpler than I have ever heard it explained before. Once you understand that concept, the rest is pretty common sense. Nice coverage
This process has always seemed really complex and just a little scary. You made this seem easy. Nice work, I reckon I could do this now. Love this series.
I never thought I’d understand the”rear derailleur” just the name of the contraption disoriented me. But you did it ,thank you!This video saved me money and that means a lot right now man thanks again
Very clear and helpful explanation, really the best I've seen for someone learning. Going through the steps to show what bad adjustment looks & sounds like, and then showing AND explaining how to fix it was excellent.
I’m installing the rear derailleur and out of every RUclips videos they’re this one helped the most it was clearly and simple with easy to understand instructions on how to adjust it thank you a lot.
Being new to cycling, this particular tutorial gave me an intuitive, uncomplicated step by step guide, for me to surprisingly discover I needed to make adjustments to my newly acquired bike which I managed to fulfill thanks to your video demo... Many thanks again👍
This is by far the best video I've seen on adjusting a derailleur! The "breaking" part made it so much easier to understand. Many thanks to you, my MTB gears are now purring like a kitten.
Well done, breaking it and fixing it was extremely helpful! I'm actually confidant I can make this adjustment myself now! All the other video's on this particular subject just confused me!! I was afraid to mess with the real derailleur because I thought I would make things worse!!!
The best explanation from the entire youtube. Everyone wants to look smart and makes it so complicated but in the end can be so easy explained by the right person.
Gene you took out the fear of failing to even start learning to making me excited to learn more about my bike. You truly place your viewers at ease to learn. I'm hungry to see all your instruction videos. Thank you.
I was fighting to adjust my gears but thank god this video helps me a lot to understand how to set up my derraileur, his explanation was clear and simple
Gene, thank you for posting this video. Out of all the videos I seen online on how to set up a RD, yours by far was the most simplest to comprehend. Prior to this I had no idea what the B tension screw was for and now I do. Great video...
Excellent i replaced my right shimano combi brake shifter in no time ,was delaying the repair till i came across this film made it so simple and clear thanks
Holly shit no one explains it the way you do. I watched three others Xperts, I still can figure out why my gear was jumping and my tension at the handle bar was all the way in. Adjusted the limit screws etc. etc. I did exactly what you said from beginning to end, my shifting is smoother than the day I bought the bike from the shop. I even took the bike back after a month and ask about the shifting not smooth, the so call tech.. turn the barrel adjuster but still didn’t fix the issue entirely. This isn’t a cheap bike either. Those guys at WHEEL AND SPROCKET ALL NEED TO WATCH YOUR VIDEO!! Subscribed!!
I've battled with out of tune derailers for years until finally I've been shown the right way, wow thank you! Explaining from the start that you can only adjust those two sprockets is what clarified it all for me. Can't ell you how happy this has made me.
Very well explained. I looked at a lot of videos before I found this one. I need to go no farther now. This one explained the whole concept for me. Thank you!
AT LAST! I finally got the hang of adjusting derailleurs. BEST how to video EVER! Dumb me for taking forever to learn, and making IT HARDER than it needs to be! THANKS guy!
Mate.......................... I watched a number of video's on how to do this until I found yours. Yours was the only one that explained how to do and explained why. Thank you my gears now work.
One of the best videos of the rear derailleur adjustments, easy to understand and more importantly even novice users like me are able to fix read derailleur confidently after watching this video. Thanks a TON.
You have no idea the amount of time I've been trying to learn this, I regularly maintain mine and other bikes, but indexing. That scared me. I had watched so many videos, but this one went in and I finally t it. Thank you so much
Thank you very much for your time to prepare for this tutorial. For me, this is one of the best explained vids of how to adjust the rear derailleur with many details.
Thanks for that. I just bought my first bike in 35 years. Riding last night and shifted it right past the lowest gear (biggest ring). Now I can adjust it.
life saver, its been ages since ive worked on a bike let alone a bike with gears. BMX background but dabbled in MTBs. Here I am almost 40 and now decided to get a MTB and do a little light shredding. SOOOO with that wanted to update my components since i blew some of the stock ones up. Anyways, wow yeah makes sense and very well done. I love how you show how when its screwed up, seriously helps a ton. Awesome demo, thank you !
Out of all the detailure adjustment video's on tube this is the best one. It explains everything, show's everything without a hand in the way. Very helpful. Got my new detailure setup perfect. Thanks
As simple as this looks (conceptually), making the proper adjustment is pretty complicated for a newbie. And I've watched number of RUclips videos , but by far this the best demonstration and explanation. Great video and I'm a new subscriber now.
Thank you so much for your video. I just bought a new derailer for the rear and with your video I don’t think I will have any problems replacing the rear derailer.
Underrated chanel. With milions bikes out there there should be milions subs to this chanel. thak you teaching this subject. Even not an active biker nowadays, i subscribed now.
I've watched several other videos and simply could not get it right when I did it myself. I liked your approach and now I can adjust my derailleur. Thank you.
Actually your explanation was one of the best I've seen. Thank you. I am a small bike shop owner and my master technician died suddenly in April and I've decided to retrain starting from scratch .
Awesome video, my rear derailleur took a knock during a ride and through it out, video was brilliant to help re-tune it and get it back to smooth shifting 🤙
Eureka!! I’ve watched a lot of videos on this topic AND this is by far the simplest, most understandable, and direct to the point instructions!! Highly recommended! All I need now is a repair stand. More power and good luck.
The way you worded some things made it click in my brain. I understood a little about the barrel adjuster but not the rest. Now I understand how the rear derailleur works! Thank you! I've watched plenty of these videos n cuz of the way you said it was just right. 👍👍👍👍
So happy to help my friend! Hey, if there is anything else you would like to learn about please send me an email! Your ideas and support are both so valuable to the channel. Thank you! gene@rgmtb.com
The best tutorial on the derailleur adjustments. minute things like the mention of clicking sound while adjusting screws makes it even more easier for beginners like me
That’s for making this video it really helped me understand how a de railed works please make more videos about adjusting and other things to fix bikes
Thanks, you briefed so nicely practically while doing it over the bike. Now I can do it myself. Was struggling and confusing over indexing. Great sir 👍
got myself a new bike and something happened to the derailleur.. it's already 10pm and I am determined to be my own mechanic..thank you for this video for it has helped and taught me a lot ❤❤
I recently purchased an EBike that has 7 gears on the rear cassette. ( 1 sprocket gear at the pedal crank) But NTL, the rear derailleur is basically identical to any other rear set of sprockets. The derailleur works the same. What I didn't know was that the middle gears of the cassette were un-adjustable. This is very valuable information ... Thanks!!
I finally managed to adjust the rear derailleur correctly. Definitely thanks to your instructions which are understandable, clear, efficient, logical and illustrative. MANY THANKS.
Hi ..this a great video ...I'm schizophrenic,,I just put a new cassette, rear derailleur,and crank on my Diamondback Axis...bike ...it was making a real clunking racket...I was feeling it wasn't safe...I thought I'd given up and was going to get a new bike for safety....after following this video...all is smooth and well....no noise and sounds safe....Test drive soon...😃😀😎. Many Thanks for such a clear and informative video ...magic ..😉. Craig...😄👍
@Regular Guy Mountain Biking Yes!! The funny part is, after adjusting the rear derailleur, I realized my cassette has 10 gears/speeds and my shifter is made for only 9 speeds... I built the bike from scratch and made a surprising mistake selecting the parts😅
You might be a "regular guy", but this video was more helpful than any of the pro videos I saw by the major channels. Thanks for explaining some new things!
I'd been putting off watching this video because my derailleur has been working with no issues. Today it played from my Watch Later Playlist, and it was very informative! You did a great job showing what each adjustment screw does, how it works, and how to set it correctly. I think you also made a great point by showing how (with care) it won't be a problem to go through a trial and error phase. Awesome job, Gene!
This was the video I needed I think. I’m new to bikes and everything was rusted so we replaced the breaks and the shifter and the grips since they were worn but haven’t been able to fix the derailleur
Best advice I ever got on my gearing was that if I didn’t hit the derailleur or crash the bike, just use the barrel adjusters. You only need tools if you knock it out of alignment.
excellent subbed im actually trying to learn this on my bike now gears are what most people find very intimidating but broken down ands simplified like this clears all that up nice job!!
Thank You! My kids bike has a crap derailleur and I was having a horrible time, other videos were not explaining the purpose of the screws well enough so I couldn't make the correlation between what I was seeing and what they were doing on higher end bikes. Great explanation and now I can perfectly align his gears without throwing the chain as well as a slew of curse words!
@@nocheesable2345 Yes, but when you need to buy a new bike every year that gets used for 4 months, you don't typically spend good money on a higher end bike.
What did you see?!! There was nothing to see! Only his hands in font of the camera without knowing which screw he was screwing! Why do you make such comments for such a crap video?!!
I watched another video and it stunk. I then watched yours and it was so simple when I followed your instructions. You use simple terms and don’t have to be a bike expert to understand it. When I did it the way you described, it worked perfectly! Thank you for doing such a great job!
nice video, a tip I have used over the years on a 9 speed rear cassette is after your limits have been set I will shift to the middle or 5th cog, and make sure my derailleur jockey(middle) wheel is inline with the 5th gear or if you have an 11 speed you can use the 6th gear as this is the middle of the cog set it is the balance point of cable tension on the shifter vs spring tension on the derailleur
I watched the video about rear derailleur really helped me understand how it worked show me more videos like that tell me where to find more videos like that 😊

Very good at breaking it down. I'm gonna get my son's bike working and shifting in no time. Thank you!
This is the first video I've watched that started with removing the derailleur cable and as soon as I did that I saw what the problem was. Thanks
You have no idea the amount of time I've been trying to learn this, I regularly maintain mine and other bikes, but indexing. That scared me. I had watched so many videos, but this one went in and I finally t it. Thank you so much
Thanks! The other videos start from the small gear and never tell you how to get there. Thank you for explaining the screws first. I did it!

Best video I've found for adjusting rear derailleur on this type of gear. Well done!
Thanks 👍
by far the best video that I've found on this topic! So clear, easy to understand!
I just watched a similar video on adjusting the rear derailer by Park Tools... let's just say that your video is much easier to follow along with!
You might be a "regular guy", but this video was more helpful than any of the pro videos I saw by the major channels. Thanks for explaining some new things!

this series is ground down to the point and explained perfectly I learned so many new things about bikes I’m starting my own build
Love it!
will be Attempting this adjustment, but your explanation helped me understand it easier
This was the video I needed I think. I’m new to bikes and everything was rusted so we replaced the breaks and the shifter and the grips since they were worn but haven’t been able to fix the derailleur
That was a very simple explanation for a very simple minded guy. Mahalo and Aloha. 😎🤙
Best advice I ever got on my gearing was that if I didn’t hit the derailleur or crash the bike, just use the barrel adjusters. You only need tools if you knock it out of alignment.
excellent subbed im actually trying to learn this on my bike now gears are what most people find very intimidating but broken down ands simplified like this clears all that up nice job!!
Excellent!!!!
Nice straightforward adjustment guide--Thanks!
Thank You! My kids bike has a crap derailleur and I was having a horrible time, other videos were not explaining the purpose of the screws well enough so I couldn't make the correlation between what I was seeing and what they were doing on higher end bikes. Great explanation and now I can perfectly align his gears without throwing the chain as well as a slew of curse words!
Those crap derailleur is are the main problem
@@nocheesable2345 Yes, but when you need to buy a new bike every year that gets used for 4 months, you don't typically spend good money on a higher end bike.
Best video for adjustment. Hands down
Brilliant 🤩 just wish I saw this earlier before I spent 3 hours screwing up my rear derailleur! 😅
Thanks for the best simplified explanation of how to adjust a derailleur, well done!
Best video I have seen out of about 5
Great video Gene. I was about to give up until I found your clip. You did an awesome job of keeping it simple. Huge help. Thanks again!
I'm very glad this video helped you out!
One of the best explanations i've seen so far.. Thank You
What did you see?!! There was nothing to see! Only his hands in font of the camera without knowing which screw he was screwing! Why do you make such comments for such a crap video?!!
@@foodsafety5875 WHy do you make a stupid reply for something that doesn't relate to you.. Feel free to go fuck yourself.
Good tips on how to adjust the limiting screws thank you very much!
My pleasure!
I watched another video and it stunk. I then watched yours and it was so simple when I followed your instructions. You use simple terms and don’t have to be a bike expert to understand it. When I did it the way you described, it worked perfectly! Thank you for doing such a great job!
nice video, a tip I have used over the years on a 9 speed rear cassette is after your limits have been set I will shift to the middle or 5th cog, and make sure my derailleur jockey(middle) wheel is inline with the 5th gear or if you have an 11 speed you can use the 6th gear as this is the middle of the cog set it is the balance point of cable tension on the shifter vs spring tension on the derailleur
I watched the video about rear derailleur really helped me understand how it worked show me more videos like that tell me where to find more videos like that
