I just install my GRX 810 by following this video. Nice clear instructions I watched it a couple of times and then followed several steps in one go. Worth noting that a cable pulling tool really helps getting the cable taught, and the cable pinch bolt needs to be screwed down quite hard, as the cable slipped through after I had installed the change and was tweaking the gears - so I had to restart.

Here's thanks from another (still learning) home-mechanic. Heard a loud snap when shifting from small to big chainring, thought my cable was broken. Shifter and outer cables looked fine which was weird, but no tension on the cable. Seems like cable tension was slowly decreasing the past 2 years, fixed it completely with just this video.

Thanks, that was just the ticket. I fitted grx 600 rings to my 810 chainset for a little lower gears and had to drop the front mech a little and reset. I'vr had a lifetime of experience in bike setup with campag, suntour, shimano, simplex, blah blah. This showed me how much I didn't know about modern tech, excellent front mech tensioning, double trim settings which I've only seem on a triple before. So please to have gone with GRX and to have it's modern features so clearly explained by a pro. BTW if anyone contemplates the 600 46/30 rings on an 810 spider the anti chain jam pin on the 600 rings is longer than the 800 as yhe 600 cranks have a hollow inside face. A few seconds with a file shortens it and avoids distorting the big ring against the drive side crank.

Some problems remain: Being on the large chainring I can't use sprockets 1-5 (1= the largest sprocket) which seems to be wrong? I guess I should at least be able to use the sprockets 3-11 while being on the large chainring.

I’m having a little trouble though, the screw that’s goes through and should push onto the frame... the derailleur is placed in a position so that when the screw goes through there is no frame to push on, it’s just in mid air. This is an issue because I need to straighten the cage because the chain is rubbing the metal side...

I have a question, the 2mm screw that goes through the middle, that is supposed to touch the frame is nowhere near the frame in my case (Giant Revolt carbon frame). It misses it by a whole centimeter. What should I do? Maybe put in a spacer in that covers this empty space so that the screw can touch that spacer?

Thank you for this it was super helpful. 2 questions: 1. If you want to use the clutch - will you have to dial limits even more potentially? 2. I've followed the video but in my grx 2x setup I hear rubbing when I'm in the large chainring in the front and if I try and get into the larger cogs in the back. Essentially about halfway it starts to rub. Small chainring in the front is pretty good with both extremes. Thanks!
