HOW TO: Replace your Derailleur Cage // Basic Derailleur Repair // Two Guys One Van

- I had been having a few issues with my derailleur on my little Hardtail over the past few weeks. The clutch on my SRAM X9 mech had finally given up the ghost and was no longer able to reliably hold the chain on (time for a little bit of rear mech repair).. And so it was time to replace it. Unfortunately... I was unable to get hold of a medium cage derailleur from my usual outlets as there is a tad bit of a parts shortage going around. So... I fished out my spare long cage derailleur I had mistakenly bought a while ago and was too lazy to return, and swapped the cage from the SRAM X9 derailleur to the body of the SRAM GX derailleur to build one working derailleur...
I was pretty impressed that it worked out given that the age difference between the two models of derailleur is around 8yrs and all. So... Suck it SRAM and your "economies of scale" lies and propaganda! Eat a bag of dicks!
This was a simple derailleur repair job that anyone can do with a little bit of patience and a basic level of competence...
So get at it Y'all!
Ich hatte in den letzten Wochen ein paar Probleme mit meinem Umwerfer an meinem kleinen Hardtail. Die Kupplung meines SRAM X9 Mechs hatte endgültig den Geist aufgegeben und konnte die Kette nicht mehr zuverlässig halten. Leider ... Ich konnte keinen mittelgroßen Käfigumwerfer aus meinen üblichen Verkaufsstellen ergattern, da ein bisschen Teilemangel herrscht. Also... Ich habe mein Ersatzschaltwerk mit langem Käfig herausgefischt, das ich fälschlicherweise vor einiger Zeit gekauft hatte und zu faul war, um es zurückzugeben, und den Käfig vom SRAM X9-Umwerfer gegen das Gehäuse des SRAM GX-Umwerfers getauscht, um einen funktionierenden Umwerfer zu bauen. .
Ich war ziemlich beeindruckt, dass es geklappt hat, da der Altersunterschied zwischen den beiden Schaltwerkmodellen etwa 8 Jahre beträgt.
Also... Suck it SRAM und deine "Economies of Scale" Lügen und Propaganda! Iss eine Tüte Schwänze!
Dies war eine einfache Schaltwerksreparatur, die jeder mit ein wenig Geduld und einem grundlegenden Maß an Kompetenz erledigen kann ...
Also macht es euch an!

A big thanx for the "video sponsor" Sven... Who forgot his beer at my house... Nice!
Didn’t know you could swap cage sizes in a pinch, cool Phil cheers!!!
Yeah... I wasn't sure it'd work either... But I've been running the swap for a few weeks now and it's working great... Was also surprised at how easy it all fit together given that it was two different model derailleur... With an odd 8 yrs between manufacture dates. 😁
I like your style! Good cold one to start with! Brilliant!
Cheers mate! Really appreciate that... And a good cold one always helps to grease the wheels on a workshop sesh! :D
Fantastic video Phillip, I have to open a beer right away, I just can't let you drink alone.
We can drink the beer Sven forgot together ;-) Super explained and shared, thanks for that. Have fun and ride on buddy
Cheers Chris! One of the first things I learned when I moved here was "One does not do work in the workshop sans beer"... Apparently it's a rule that must be followed. So I follow it. It is the German way! It's also the last time Sven will forget beer at my place! Hahaha... Also... That's the first time someone has spelled my name correctly in years! I actually cried actual tears of pride! :D
@@TwoGuysOneVan I'm glad I got your name right, but now I'm afraid I might get it wrong in one of the next comments😌. I know how you work with beer, I have two colleagues from Augsburg Bayern😃. I think it's nice that you stick to the important rules👍. Keep up the good work and have a nice Sunday. Cheers
When you start and end with a 🍺 you know it’s a great vid. Thanks for the knowledge share and for keeping in the b real footage in as it adds to the experience.
Hahaha... Yeah... We think so as well... Thanx for watching and supporting us hommie! We really appreciate it! Keep safe out there man! :D
Great informative video and I really enjoyed watching. Thanks!
Thanx man! We really appreciate that! Thanx for watching and keep safe out there! :D
There are two things I don't really mess with, suspension internals and deraillerus. Well done. 👌🏼
Yeah... I was in a place where I had two derailleurs that didn't matter if I wrecked them of not, but needed one working one... So I had nothing really to lose by trying this out. Pretty happy with how it all went, and the relative simplicity of it... :D
@@TwoGuysOneVan Plus you save a good 100 bucks!!
@@RickyDownhillRDH This is a true thing!! :D
A nice litte to-do, mate. As so often, the "framework story" (right word? ^_^) is the most entertaining part ;-) Have a very nice WE. Cheers Piety
Right word mate! And a good word as well... :D
And thanx mate! Really appreciate it... You have a good one as well...
@@TwoGuysOneVan Oh - thank you well, mate - very kind :-) Have a nice "week-start". Cheers.
@@D0nP3dro You too mate. Although it's pretty wet here atm... :(
@@TwoGuysOneVan Oooh yes ... that sh...y novmember-thing :-( Time to unpack my dirtsuit ^_^
@@D0nP3dro For sure... Only issue is... I don't mind being wet. I don't mind being cold... But I dislike being wet AND cold! So this time of the year sucks a bit for me... :D
Helpful mate! I suspected this would be possible but couldn’t find any info anywhere. Thanks for being brave enough (or stupid enough) to try 😂
Any idea if the non clutch models, X7 & X9, the nine speed models have the same cages? And could be swappable also? They come up for sale cheaper.
Hahaha... I'll go with brave enough! :D No worries mate. It was one of those things where I thought I had nothing to lose and everything to gain so I went for it...
@@tomrobinson7879 Sorry mate. I have no info on that... Although if I were to hazard a guess... I'd say it would be possible.
Cool vid! But man, those jockey wheels were toasted!
For sure... My gear lives a hard life... I have the new Jockey wheels on now though... This whole experiment worked out great. Well pleased with how it turned out!
Thanx for swinging by and watching! We really appreciate it! :D
