if it's a nice everyday bike, it's just not worth doing yourself if you've never done it before. get it done at a shop and practice with your old groupset on an old frame.
I always like to add an in-line barrel adjuster to the cable housing for the front and rear derailleurs so I can fine-tune while riding. Seems I only notice/remember shifting problems while riding so these become crucial. Also comes in helpful if you race and need to grab a neutral support wheel.
nice vid. Its good to see more talk about Mech drivetrains. Di2 is cute and everything - but I have never had my mechanical groupset run out of battery on a long ride and had to pedal home in whatever gear it decided to be in. Mechanical has less to break or go wrong, is cheaper and less maintenance.
Thankx Alex, and just so you know torquing to the correct value is really important. When I was phixin Phantoms(1976) everything was torqued, some had to be "witnessed" , so to this day I always use a torque wrench. Now go back a re-torque all them elbow settings to the correct value.
Helpful hint for those front mechs, on the left side there’s a line on the mech and where the pivot point is, when you shift into the big ring if those lines are perfectly in line you have the perfect amount of cable tension. If the pivot line is lower, add tension, if it’s higher, remove tension. It’s a great and useful feature Shimano thought well to include.
Generally I find that putting the chain onto the second-highest gear before doing the pinch bolt works best for the reach mech. I usually still need to do a handful of clicks on the barrel adjuster, but if I do the highest gear I used up most of the barrel adjuster's range right off the bat. I think one of Si's video's put me into this a few years back.
Unfortunately you have not used the correct procedure for the FD. These new type (R7000 in the video) are set up completely differently to the older ones... the cable tension is set using the white line, then the upper limit position is set first as this effects the lower position! Adjusting the upper position afterwards will change the lower also! Please refer to the shimano manual.
Didn't mention the support bolt or having the back end 0.5mm inside the chainring before tightening it either as it's a braze on. These one size fits all videos are a bit lazy and aren't really helpful which is why I didn't end up buying the GCN maintenance book.
Back deraillure. I found out best way for me to align it is: Shift to highest gear. Loosen cable. Check limit of deraillure are ok from the back by manually moove deraillure to its end position-pully wheel should be slightly outside of cassette. Make sure cable tension screw is fully in. Shift to highest gear again to double check. Thighten cable with a gentle pull on the cable. Shift to lowest gear !I'm never in lowest gear at this point! Always one or two gears away. Increase cable tension while mooving crank till chain is on lowest gear. This works ok for me and i'm done. With this way you know that you get to the best operation point by increasing the tension rather than guessing if to screw in or out.
Haven’t ever had any serious issues with headsets or brakes but i always get the BB faced cause if the dreaded creaking noise starts coming from down there i can literally set it on 🔥.
I would appreciate if you could prepare a video explaining which is the best grease, paste, oil or similar in each part or the bike and depending on the functionality or materials... Great video though!
Reasonably good installation video Was wondering about chain install I have always run new chain on SMALL Chainring, feed thru derailleur and on SMALLEST cassette to determine length Was also hoping to see a more detailed bit on installing chain pin and cutting here Nothing here about the most complicated and dirty part of hydraulic brake install..adding brake fluid and bleeding system properly ... I ' m sure there is a separate GCN link for that
Got that groupset too. Perfect for me for now. The quality of the low-mid range is astonishing. Got over 6000km now on it, planing on upgrading to 105 or Ultegra once the components are worn out.
@@ingmarneple6072 Rode more than 12000km in 2020 on my Tiagra groupset, how do you justify a 500€ investment (+ more expensive parts when they need to get replaced) when the only difference is a few grams and one more speed?
Frames that don’t use full length cable housing; rear derailleur cable housing length can be finicky and with no length specification as frames differ. Use the old housing as a guide or on new builds start a bit long. Connect cable/derailleur and adjust. If any cable housing side flex is observed while shifting thru all gears, this = lack of cable movement commanded by the shifter and shifts under torque (riding) will be imprecise. Cut this cable housing length shorter 5mm at a time and readjust derailleur until no flex is observed while shifting thru the gears = precise shifts. Cable housing flex= lack of full cable movement at the derailleur as commanded by the shifter.
Nice video! If you turn the rear barrel adjuster all the way "down" before tightening the cable, you won't be able to loosen tension if the mech overshifts. Best to set the barrel adjuster at the midpoint so you can adjust tension in the cable both ways. Right?
well, maybe not mid-way but certainly not right at its limit. Chances are far more likely that you will need to tighten the cable more than loosen, but good to have that option should the need arise
Initially run the adjuster all the way in. You’ll need to turn the barrel adjuster tension counterclockwise after install of the cable as it’s not possible to cinch the cable up by hand and without mechanical advantage to enough tension so as to need loosening (clockwise) the barrel adjuster after installation.
I have reservations about using grease and a torque wrench. The torque settings are always quoted for dry components. Applying grease and using the same torque setting can result in over torquing the applicable fastener. Also you did not mention the type of grease that you use which is important. There are lots of different types for different purposes.
When you install a new cassette the plastic it comes on makes installing it childsplay. Just align the plastic on the body, remove the little plastic that secures the sprockets and just shift the whole cassette on the body. I always save the plastic hub for future replacing or cleaning the cassette. ;)
Looks like you guys prefer Muc Off instead of Park’s grease. Is it actual preference or simply product placement? I’m good w product placement, though it does seem a Muc Off is out of stock, sadly. If there’s not a whole lot of difference, I’ll gladly get Park’s line of grease. Cheers!
6:29 -- I appreciate the ads, but if you use your head you dont really need that routing cable kit. Just use the already existing cables to route the new cables in. Just use a screw or something to hold both ends together, and just feed the new cables in.
I love this kind of videos (and I get the feeling that every time Alex says "We have plenty of videos on X" there will be a link to a future video). One thing I always struggle with is the many positions the front shifter has ("trim positions"?!)... the explanation in the installation manual is confusing and never see anyone explain them in videos. Could you please talk a bit more about them in a future video? Or maybe at least in an #askgcntech video?
Khaled Zaidan, I had the same problem. In Fact, my Pinarello came from the shop improperly adjusted. Shimano front derailleurs have two etched lines on the back (towards the rear wheel). Set up just like in the video here, then use the small screw "to adjust tension on the cable" until the two etched lines are in-line with each other. Hope this helps.
If I want to replace my old 2x10 mechanical groupset with 2x11 or even 2x12, how do I know if the new group set will fit with my old bike frame? Can we upgrade with different brand? or we have to stay with the old brand. Can you have a new video that explain what possible problems to replace 2x10 with 2x12?
Previously Alex showed us that you can invert front and back derailleur with di2. Today it's how to shift both front and back derailleurs with the same shifter on a mechanical groupset. 🤣
So when I attach my cable to the front derailleur, the attach point goes to the up position immediately. The chain is in the smaller ring and fairly certain I have the lever in the lower setting. What am I doing wrong? Do I have too much tension on my cable from the start?
My FD shifter feels very stiff and it's very difficult to shift into large chainring from small. Is this due to my FD cable tensioned too high? Is there anything I could do to check this? Using Shimano 105 R7000 btw. #AskGCNTech
Good video Alex. As someone not confident of messing with my bike I’m conscious of buying the wrong tools and the wrong parts and ending up messing it up. Then thinking why didn’t I just pay someone to do it. What would you advise for people like me who don’t want to spend a lot on tools etc?
Why do the big channels always skip over stuff and leave it to the little guys to make the better guides? B limit screw.. Just do it correctly. How close is correct? Just use the correct distance, obviously. And it shifts two gears... well job done then I guess, lets not test the rest. Oh and the front didnt shift at first? No need to show that, we are all experts here, seen it a million times and its solution, no need to show it, it's not like this is a guide or anything.
5 mm space for the B limit screw as he mentions. There are a lot of other how to's on their channel about indexing etc. (also for the chain length) so I think they skipped that part on purpose
@@kidShibuya as shown in video this is 5 mm between the teeth of the largest sprocket of the cassette and the teeth of the top sprocket of the derailleur (or chain on the sprocket of the derailleur that's about the same distance) in an other video they show you that putting a 5 mm Allen key between derailleur and cassette will do the trick (as this is 5 mm)
ive just installed 1x SRAM Apex on my Topstone but im having the mother of all problems getting enough tension in the rear mech to actually get the gears to change. Does anyone have any ideas or insight? The bead is seated in the brifter properly but still cant get it tight. Next station is Wits End

@@jimcappa6815 in this case it would be even more useful to show how to tidy up Your cockpit further by moving adjusters towards derailleurs. I assume some adjusters are necessary with mechanical groupset or are they not?
@@awesomexistence Many thanks. I'm preparing to build my Giant Revolt with Ultegra 2x11 Groupset using Jagwire sealed KIT which contains those adjusters so I wasn't sure if I need to use them or not. That answers all my doubts 👍
Very nice guide. I’m from Israel and I’m a big fan of the channel. I have a question: My groupset is Shimano sora - (7 gears with 11-28 ratio). I’m wondering if this mean that I have less ‘low gears’ than the groupset of 11 gears with the same ratio, (foe example: 105, ultergra)? I Would appreciate if you explain this debate. I remember the salesman of TREK’s local shop saying that, if i choose my current bike, I’ll be struggling more during climbing than the other bike he showed me, (the same Sora groupset, but with 9 gears instead - which is more expensive obviously)
More gears with the same range means smaller differences between gears. So maybe the perfect cadence for you is between two gears when using 7 speed, but can be perfectly achieved with a 9 speed cassette. This is more important when applying more power, so when climbing or going really fast.
My installation ( a few years back) was hell. Internal cabling (I also bought a 3T handlebar with internal cabling) with hydraulic brakes and mech shifters (Red 22) I had to route internally all the cables. Total time 1 week ( after work)

Would it kill you to 'clean' the old components before re-installing them? ONLY TAKES A SECOND, the splines on your free hub were filthy when you put red grease on it, your rear derailleur was filthy when you greased that one... geezzzz!! WTF dude?

For the FD there's two lines that you have to align while in the shifter is in trimmed position from big to small chainring.
I have always set up the front derailleur before the rear. I also tend to put the chain on the big ring for indexing.
Perfect, I am currently trying to figure out how to install a derailleur and cable on my commuting bike!
