Don't Make this Mistake with your Shimano Deore M5120 Derailleur / 2021 Trek Marlin 7 / Clutch

I took my 2021 Trek Marlin 7 out for its first ride and the chain had fallen off. Then it skipped gears once or twice, but it was something easily solved on my Shimano Deore M5120 Derailleur, and something I should have checked before even taking it for a ride. Check out this video to see the clutch lever on the Shimano Deore M5120 that comes on the 2021 Trek Marlin 7.

OMG. I did the same thing just today hoping to end my woes. And I guess I was right looking at your video. Thank You so much. Somehow, the internet has very little information regarding this issue. I recently bought a Marlin 6 2022 with a similar setup. The chain started slipping after a few rides. The local dealer couldn't figure out the reason. He actually advised me to replace the chain and cassette. I didn't believe him. Another technician said he replaced my smallest cog and it would solve the problem. Paid him (although I am sure he did nothing). I even asked him if its due to the clutch. He advised me to keep it off. Problem persisted. I just trusted my instinct to switch it on this morning and had a great problem free ride. And now your video says it all. Thanks again

I would highly recommend also checking the derailleur setup. I bought a very slightly used Trance X 29, where the previous owner may have never put the clutch on. Worse, the B screw had never been set, and the H and L screws were also incorrectly set.

I’ve just picked up what was supposedly “professionally assembled” Norco Storm 2 MTB from a shop and rode it back home for about 20 KM. Gorgeous bike with quality components but I was really annoyed with the slow gear shifting and occasional phantom shifts during my trip. Started doing research, bumped into your video, checked whether it was in correct position and what so you know, it was not. I pulled it up and definitely noticed how tighter the chain got. Just went out for a quick ride and definitely noticing smoother shifts and no gear skipping on the short trip. Will see how it goes on a longer ride but the difference is very noticeable. Thanks for the tip, mate!

Protip: If your changing to lower gear and your rear derailleur starts making sounds, you could open the clutch system with 2mm allen key and service them. Use teflon grease or any similar. While at that, adjust the other 2mm allen key screw inside to make the pulley stiffer without impacting shifting to reduce chain slaps.

Hi, I'm new to switch gear bikes and I just bought a bike with this same Shimano Derailleur, so I have a question: Could you ride with the clutch disengaged, say you only ride paved, smooth roads, would the pedaling resistance be less with the chain being less under tension? Or is my thinking wrong here? Or is it not recommended to ride without the clutch at all?

@DadTechTV Жыл бұрын

I'll just say that the documentation from Shimano says to leave it on except when doing maintenance, however it seems like a lot of people ride with it off, whether they realize it or not. I don't notice a difference as far as pedaling, only notice that the chain falls off when riding off a curb sometimes with it off.

I cut my plastic thing off. Seems like a lot of people are having issues with it coming loose and causing issues.

So I guess the question is, if you remove the rear wheel with the lever still in the on position (as I did to replace the tyre, without even realising - doh!) does this cause any kind of permanent damage ?

Same thing happened to me. Just got a gem 2 Marlin 7 and took it to the ocean for the weekend. It kept skipping in the second gear to lowest. I thought it needed adjustment but it was the clutch on the derailleur

Thank you!. I am riding my ebike for a month and i even notice that switch... it was unlocked all the time... how it happens my dealer didnt aware me about it? i switch it to locked position, and really is more pressure on it.... Hugs

I got the same product but my switch is in the off position. it has been working great without the extra tension. (no chain falling). I was questioning myself if the whole clutch thing it was just BS. My bike comes with a chain guard so is pretty quiet already. I will change it to the on position to see if I feel any differents.

For me the change was night and day. Just hopping off curbs would sometimes cause an issue before I realized it had a clutch. Always interesting to see how the same product functions differently.

@@DadTechTV I knew I had a clutch, but thought it was by default on. But I just realized is not. Maybe I will feel a differents while changing gears in rough terrains (when chain is bouncing around) idk.

My Marlin 7 came with the lever in the "Off" position and shifts fine. When I moved the Lever to "On", there's a lot of issues with shifting in the shop/garage. I haven't tried it under load.

@DadTechTV Жыл бұрын

That's interesting that you have an issue with shifting once it's turned on. You may want to download the documentation direct from shimano and dial it in a bit as it suggests leaving it on except when doing maintenance.

@fusionvic Жыл бұрын

Well I did test it under load and it is much better. But when shifting in the shop without a load, it had issues. My guess is the clutch has to be off when working on the bike or removing the wheel as per the instructions. Also, going to the 32T chainring which retains the stock chainline as well as using this clutch really quieted things down.

I watched your video prior to buying my new bike. I just got delivery of a new Kona Dr Dew 12 speed Deore and has the same lever and set to off. The shop told me to put it ON ie tension the chain only when rough area and offroad otherwise leave it OFF position. You are saying leave it on all the time.??

The info I provided here came straight from the manual and I believe it’s still properly linked in the description if you want to take a look. Says to leave it on unless doing maintenance on the bike. But that’s just based on the manual.

I"m a road cyclist who has recently bought an MTB to change it up a bit so, I'm new to this. I've got a Giant Talon with the same set up and I've had conflicting information as to where that switch/clutch should be. I looked on KZfaq and some "experts" have said it should be on (up) and only off (down) when taking off the wheel or working on it. Others have said on for the road and off for the trails. Even the mechanic at the shop where I bought it from said off for road and on for trails. I'm confused now!
