Thanks so much! Couldn't figure out how the metal spring that SPRUNG out sat in the housing- got it together in 5 mins after that was resolved! Plus, how the cable fit around the outside track on the twist was the other hint I needed. Keep up the great videos!

[@maxmiser286]

I like it. The main problems I've had repairing bikes I've overcome them by watching your videos. Big thumbs up!👍

[@prndownload]

Thank you so much! I tried to replace the cable in the dark outside after riding home from work. I had no patience and raged when I couldn't figure out how to get the end of the cable out. Was going to have to take it to get fixed and also not be able to ride the rest of the week. After a quick search I found this video and it's all back together now working perfectly ready for tomorrow. The trick was moving the brake lever out of the way! I had to replace a tube last week too. Why do these things all happen around the same time... Now hopefully I get another 18 months without further repairs.

[@dieterk.1272]

Perfect! Short, factual and quickly explained. It does not get any better than this. I am thrilled.

[@andyberry7056]

pretty sure the contents of your video was what I was supposed to do, but seeing it was most helpful and confidence boosting!
thanks for taking the time to record and share this.

[@martymcgrogan]

Very helpful and clearly understood. Thanks!! This is virtually identical to my vintage Shimano Grip Shift 2 on my old classic Nishiki, and helped me change shift cables after so many years!!!

[@alexat62]

Thanks, very clear, easy to follow explanation.

[@leandrofean]

This video saved my life. Cool

[@karguy1720]

Many thanks. I took my 600 apart yesterday and I was struggling to reassemble it. This was exactly what I needed to complete the job.

[@sam28509]

Thx. OMG, you've saved my life. I was about to explode on tryin to insert the cable without removing their parts. Install the cable directly from its hole and figuring on how the hell can it be go around the shifter itself. Now I know dat I need to disassemble them thx to u. Keep up your awesome guide/job 👍🏼

[@Mike-pj1kv]

Lifesaver. This is impossible without instructions.

[@IrinaAvdeeva-ui7xf]

So clear and good-shooted! Thank you for a great tutorial!

[@alanharding440]

Thanks for making it so clear.

[@OjStudios]

Your videos are so clear and easy to understand even to a people who have never done these things. I just watch these because I love 'em!

[@benwilmot7094]

Just servicing my sisters old bike - very helpful guide as I couldn’t remember how to get the cables out

[@douglasmccarty1196]

Great video, just the information I needed. Thanks.

[@nivekvb]

Great hands on advice as usual!

[@beaglerott]

Thanks for this. The instructions were largely accurate for my SRAM ESP 50 shifter.

[@williamfuetterer2692]

Thanks for the video!
I was changing the rear shifter cable on my 1997 Trek 850 SHX and was having trouble with how the cable was routed in the grip shifter. In your video you say the cable needs to go around the barrel at least once. That made all of the difference; other videos by others didn’t make that clear.

[@john4692]

This the best guy he help me fix my shifter👍

[@JuanBuenoJeanBien]

This REALLy helped me out!

[@cagedcoyote]

Thank you, exactly what I needed to know.

[@MrRSCHECK]

Thanks for the vid, I noticed the REI Pondersosa right away. Was working there when that 95 model came out. I wound up buying the step up with the X-Ray Grip shift. Still use them on older builds...

[@gerdalois4169]

you describe it very good, thanks... Thumb up! Greatings from Hamburg, Germany

[@bleednate]

Love the slippers. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@ronridgely5609]

Indispensable! You are the backbone of the internet.

[@WJHandyDad]

great video - clear and concise with great camera angles

[@whotelakecity2001]

Yes, that did help. Thank you. My head hurt trying to figure out how to pass the cable through this type of shifter. I needed to remove the little triangular cover below and didn't know. Nice tip for removing the grip with alcohol. As for the little piece inside (metal or plastic) I would put some grease around it to hold it in place. The only thing I would ad to this video for novices is how the cable needs to be set (shorter or longer/ lowest or highest gear) before it is secured at the deraileur itself.

[@RJTheBikeGuy]

Maybe sure you use a plastic safe grease. SRAM Jonnisnot is the proper grease. But you can probably use something like Super Lube.

[@systembve]

This helps a lot! Thanks!

[@VitorleitaoPT]

Thank you for your videos, cheers!

[@andrewsharp3945]

Very useful! I changed a cable by moving the brake further into the bar with the gear shift enough so it unclips to keep my grips in place.

[@silencionomus]

This video is exactly what RUclips is for. Thanks for the clear and helpful instructions, RJ. You're a good person!

[@pokepals4840]

[@joeypolanco8754]

My local bike shop was going to charge me $120 bucks to replace both left/right shifter cables on my mountain bikes! Thank you for taking the time to show us how to do it ourselves ! 👍👍👍

[@RJTheBikeGuy]

Ouch!

[@ashtonjohnson184]

I love your slippers

[@Sooperhans3636]

Grip shifters are the bane of my existence.

[@mscir]

I hosed up my Specialied cable replacement until I watched this, then it went together perfectly and works great, don't give up! I found it's easier to move the brake than remove the rubber grip.

[@WhiteSparr0w]

Thanks bro...

[@AtypicalPaul]

Great tip with the alcohol :)

[@kiresmirnoff]

This video would have saved me 2 hours of tinkering in the cellar if I had seen it before. Damn Gripshift Crap!

[@BoufloveJesus]

Thank You

[@jessegarcia9321]

Any videos on how to replace a cable on a Sturmey- Archer 3 speed hub? It’s in my wife’s Schwinn Breeze. Thanks.

[@robertrittner2692]

Danke / Thank you!

[@aracnoloco]

Cool. Thanx. Nice shoes ;-)

[@jeffstone2601]

ME GUSTAN SUS ZAPATOS ESTAN COMICOS....SALUDOS DESDE COLOMBIA

[@mscir]

Thank you very much for this great video, I had to replace the cable on my old Specialized which has very similar shifters, I tried it once and it got all bound up, wouldn't shift smoothly, this was exactly what I needed. Great Job!
Any chance you'll do the other side for the front derailleur?
Is there a reason you move the grip instead of just moving the brake?

[@RJTheBikeGuy]

The other side is similar if not the same.

[@mscir]

Cool, exactly right, got them both working now, simple once I saw you do it lol. Thank you very much.

[@SuperCyril2]

Use air compressor to remove grips. Super easy

[@GameplayerSolCley]

thanks.

[@nobbyclark1346]

I have a falcon 3 speed hub. The shifter needs replacing. My issue is, that both ends of my cable have an inline lead barrel. The lead barrel unclips from the grip shifter through a slot. What replacement shifter will allow this, can be a thumb shifter ?

[@bnick25352535]

Was wondering what need to be changed from grip shifters to trigger shifters appreciate the video

[@RJTheBikeGuy]

I am planning to do a video. But pretty much just take off the grip shifters and install the trigger shifters.

[@bnick25352535]

RJ The Bike Guy cool I was hoping it was that easy trying slowly upgrade bike thanks for the feedback

[@RJTheBikeGuy]

[@1uHAX]

тапки просто великолепны!!!!!!!

[@bed51]

Hey!! I invented the alcohol under the grip trick.

[@kenmorris5512]

Thanks...fixed now. I can see why you like to get rid of these. :-)

[@RJTheBikeGuy]

I just like trigger shifters better. Better construction. Better shifting.
