Brother, you are a real trooper for showing us how to do this, especially in your current workshop. This was especially appreciated because I have to switch out my shifter, which I totally destroyed in a crash episode 31 days ago. My leg is still messed up. I haven't ridden since then, but I do need to swap out my shifter, so thanks for that.
TY Chit for making yourself show this process. Definitely will be helpful to many. At 1st I thought it was just going to be a repeat of your previous video.

Thank you for doing this. Even if we want a better set-up than what you replaced the original with, I think we're out of luck. I'll upgrade after I get back from my little mini vacation. I can't wait to get rid of some of that horrifying chain slap. When I first got my Dual Star, I'd pull over after I heard the chain slap to make sure nothing was broken. Again, thanks for the video!
Great mod and improvement. The 6/7/8 speed chains are all the same. Indexing is set by the shifter. So you can put an “8 speed” derailleur on the bike and it will operate the same as stock with the 7 speed shifter to save you from having to replace the shifter and freewheel if you wanted to 👍 Great video though, I need to swap my stock derailleur with one that has a clutch on my 24+ Wired Freedom. I already put a mega range 7 speed freewheel on it just incase I need to pedal it home without power for some reason.
Nice upgrade for a little money. The only thing I do not like about the shifter it only shows gear 1 and gear 8 on the shifter. I think you have to guess about the other gears. How does it ride and shift?
Great details for the average home wrencher! If you could overcome all those challenges, certainly I could learn how to do my own bike repairs as well. Say, I've always wondered what it would take to swap out a motor on a Senada Viper Plus. Maybe someday we'll see that. Couldn't be too difficult, right?
You need to move brother! Your upstairs too right? Pretty sure you lost your security deposit. Maybe find a storage unit nearby to make into a storage/shop combo. Good video, I'm going to send you a 21 inch wrench!
@RidinRetired I actually took a link out of this chain already, but not by plan. I noticed a few months ago that one of the outer links came loose so I took it off
You got plenty of room in there to do the job. Let's go 😁 👍

Cute Rottweiler. Kitty wanted to help u.
I definitely appreciate you making this as I plan on doing it as a winter project.
Chit you’ll be popular with the spinsters out there they love a man who can use his tool
nice work!! Great upgrade. Thanks for the parts list. Between STC and ecells videos we got it made in the shade boys. "Let's ride"

@@Truth_Spoken Interesting, so put the 8sp derailleur on and set the limit screws and it would only shift 7 of the gears?
@@shootthechit that’s correct. Still need to match brands though, so if you have a Shimano shifter then use their derailleur.
@Truth_Spoken I read that the microshift shifter uses a different ratio pull than the shimano.
Excellent work Batman !!!!

These are my favorite type of videos. Wish you did more mods
Would do more if I had a shop/garage.
Thank you for making this video, I love seeing it.
Thanks for doing this video TC! 👏🏼
gonna make the order!
Great job man.

Nice job thanks for doing this video 😊peace be with you

@@inlinegoalieguy Oddly specific request..
Why do u have "handcuffs" on the pup?
@@IMBruceECLECTIC Handcuffs?

How much money is in the tupperware?
@IMBruceECLECTIC Hah a lot, I edited out the whole putting money in it gag. It's on the cutting room floor
@shootthechit ...i have several Preacher friends and teenagers....I edit out a lot...my cuss jar is over flowing...😂😅🤦♂️🤷♂️
With this upgrade is the chain still loose enough to need to take a link out?
@RidinRetired I actually took a link out of this chain already, but not by plan. I noticed a few months ago that one of the outer links came loose so I took it off
@ My chain seems to be too long, I’ll probably take a link out when I break it to do the upgrade.
Dude, when you Put that freewheel on make sure to put a little bit of grease on those threads. You’ll thank me later.
damn how you get the freewheel off so easy, im trying to remove my freewheel right now and i bought the park tool FR nut thing and it won't come off!
@funguy2627 well, it wasn't as easy as the video shows, I had to really Crank it. Much harder than the other Freewheel I've removed
I want this done on one of bikes...i am going to move to Antioch...would you do this for me....Friend....😁
Sure you come to Antioch I will do it for free!
You're moving to Antioch?? Only place it would be an upgrade from is Pittsburg! Is Shore Acres still there? Oh wait that is West Pitt.
@@shootthechit ....can I just stay with you...?
@@tenncutt ...ha ha ha....I am going to just see if I can stay with him.....
Why did you bother to break the chain? Just separate the derailleur from the hanger and lay the chain down out of the way.
Scared of that service if it was me
Ha ha ha
The pup did not look comfortable in that thing he was wearing.....
You need a new house...a spread in Nevada...maybe...or Utah...or...? 🤣😂💪🦵⚡️🚴♂️
@@IMBruceECLECTIC Taking donations as we speak!
There’d be a lot of Spinsters out there looking for a Chit like you ❤
