    Fantastic video thank you! The adjustment is slightly more complicated than a traditional derailleur but you made it very clear.

    Thanks mate. Your rear derailleur video helped me tune. Prior to it i watched the Parktool one but it overcomplicated something which you explained very simply and with good camera angles too.

    Excellent video! Helped me resolve the front derailleur chain rub on a second hand bike (with a Shimano 105 groupset). The combination of the camera angles and clear explanation made it clear and simple to follow.

  • @RyanNordle
    @RyanNordle 25 дней назад

    Anyone know how to troubleshoot this problem:
    I set my low limit, clamp the cable back in the front derailleur, then use the tension screw until I get a good shift up to the big ring. All good, no rub. But then I go to align the top trim, and once I match the white lines using the tension screw, now I've got rub again.

  • @carlaostler9439
    @carlaostler9439 2 месяца назад

    The chain is trying to grab onto the big cog when in "trim position" and slips. It's okay when doing a "full" shift. Any ideas?

    Hey, I'm a super newbie and i have a question...
    My back derailleur is mismatched with my handle
    for example, when i put it on gear 7(smallest) it only goes down to gear 6
    When I put it to gear 2 it goes to gear 1
    When I put it to gear 1 it falls off towards the wheel
    Which makes it impossible for me to use gear7 which is my favorite.
    Is there any solution? I don't really trust shops here since It's just old men and they're unexperienced with good bikes.

    • @HakureiReimuOfficial
      @HakureiReimuOfficial 3 месяца назад

      He has a video on the rear derailleur that will answer your question. The short answer is that the high limiter is set too tight, I just fixed that on mine.

  • @HakureiReimuOfficial
    @HakureiReimuOfficial 3 месяца назад

    Hi! I followed the video, and the lowest and highest gear are perfect but the middle one is rubbing. What can I do?

    I've watched close to 50 videos on this and follow step by step but it never works right. I have 3 chainrings and I can get it to go from smallest to middle. But when I click back down nothing happens. Or what will happen is I will go small, middle large and when I click back down it totally skips the middle.

    • @AveragestCyclist
      @AveragestCyclist Месяц назад

      Triples are the hardest to get right. Derailleur height is key, but this sounds like it could be a cable tension issue to me. Keep at it, you’ll get it dialed in.

  • @roygumpel8415
    @roygumpel8415 3 месяца назад +1

    I cannot get the front and rear derailers to shift through all of the gears. What the fuck am I doing wrong? Does it have to do with cable tension? I really feel like I tried everything, but I’ve am about to burn this bicycle. Bicycles.

  • @svkurowski
    @svkurowski 3 месяца назад

    Tried this today on my first road bike to fix the chain rubbing. Must have done something wrong, couldn’t find a position of the L screw where it didn’t rub and then when I tried to put things back together I couldn’t switch to large gear in front anymore. Will have to take her to the shop. Seems a bit weird to me to change the H screw so late in the process given that it seems to have so much impact (with it I could actually prevent the rubbing).
