For beginners, it's often confusing trying to remember which way to turn the barrel adjuster. A good way to imagine it is, spinning it to the right moves the derailleur to the right; while spinning it to the left moves the derailleur to the left. Great video.
@lokmtb8503
@lokmtb8503 3 жыл бұрын
That's a really good way to describe it to beginners. I think the only problem lies with the fact that left or right is relative to the top or bottom of the barrel adjuster. I like to conceptualize what barrel adjuster is actually doing. The barrel adjuster is like a screw so by turning it ccw you're backing it out which tightens the cable and moves the derailleur to the left.
@GroundCRow
@GroundCRow 3 жыл бұрын
This is way too late, but I remember the right direction by turning the adjuster down (by guiding your thumb downwards along the adjuster) the chain is moving down towards the smaller cogs more easily. Same for going up... No left - right confusion, no confusion what the small or easy gear should be.

A few tips from my own experience wrenching on my bikes: - Setting the H-limit: Do this without the shifting cable attached. This will ensure that the limit is set by the screw instead of the cable tension. - Don't try to rush it. You'll be amazed how much difference even a quarter turn can make. In addition, if you take the time to do this properly, you probably won't need to touch the H/L/B-limit screw until you change wheel or cassette. - Do a test ride afterwards. Your bike or suspension may twist ever so slightly with the weight of a rider on top. If you take a few tools with you, you can finetune your settings on the go until you're satisfied.

I did exactly this. I just installed a Shimano SLX groupset and I had the derailleur lined up perfect with the highest gear and perfect with the lowest gear. I tensioned the cable and shifted and it still looked good so I installed the chain and everything was messed up. I'm going to give it another try tonight and see if I can fix it but I'm guessing probably not. I've NEVER been able to adjust a rear derailleur and I've been tinkering with bikes now for about 5 years. My routine is adjust it as best as i can, then take it to a LBS and have them fix what i screwed up. So far I've been lucky and the person at the bike shop has been able to fix it on the spot, but that could change tomorrow when i take it to a bike shop. When i called the shop earlier, 20 mins before they closed they said they are booked for a week for bike servicing but I can bring the bike in when they open in the morning and maybe they can take a look at it and possibly fix on the spot as long as it doesn't take too long.

I'm a first time owner of a bike that has gears. I actually followed similar instructions. It was a bit hard on the first bike I built I ordered online but second time around it was a little harder. I think it's because I had to put the bikes upside down via on its handlebars and seat. It wasn't easy trying to switch gears and pedal while trying to look at the rear Derailleur. I think it would've made my life easier if I had a bike repair stand. My advice to beginners, invest in a bike repair stand or build a cheap one..lol. That's my next investment for sure.

Thanks! Best video I've seen yet on this process! I see the dirt bikes in the background, looks like my wife and I, we've been dirt biking for a number of years, just picked up some e MTB has another way to get around while we're on the road in our RV.

By far and away the best video I have watched on rear derailleur adjustment. Every other video leaves something out or is vague. You are the only one that says to back out the barrel adjuster 5 turns to start with. Great stuff, I have subscribed and thank you for your time and effort.

Thanks for the rear derailleur video! Using these videos and the Park Tool videos I was able to do it myself! It took 2 days, after the 1st day I almost gave up. Thankfully it came together on day 2.

Took me quite a while to get it right. But it worked. Wound up repalcing a derailer hanger that didnt seem bent but that fixed mist of the shifting issue. Thanks for the detaield video. Best in the web ive seen

Thanks Kyle & April, this has been super helpful. I feel much more comfortable now to tune my derailer. There are many step-by-step videos available, but I really like how you explain what the different parts do and how they play together. Like in your bike videos, I end up understanding much better how things work instead of just repeating to hopefully get the same effect. Keep it going!
