Shimano Nexus 3 Speed Adjustment | Internal-Gear Hub Bike Shifter Adjustment

I show you how you can adjust the Shimano Nexus 3 speed Internal-Gear Hub Bike Shifter easily. The problem on this bike was that it was jumping gears and going to the third gear although the shifter was set to second gear.
Steps for adjusting:
1) Set the shifter to the middle gear (second gear)
2) open the lug nut on the shifter with a 10mm key
3) turn the barrel roller (turn with pliers if tight)
4) adjust until you have the yellow dot between the white lines
5) close the lug nut again - DONE
If you have trouble getting the yellow line into position perhaps the shifter unit is out of place like in my case so I also show you how you can take the shifter unit off and position it correctly.

Thank you, this was perfectly explained. I’m an old BMX guy so anything but single speed gearing is foreign to me. 👍🏼

I have a Marin bike that uses this Shimano gear. A while ago, the tire went flat and had to be replaced. Since then, the gears would jump between speeds. I brought the bike to a store today and so far it seems to be okay now. If I have this problem again, I will try to adjust it myself. Thanks for this informative video!

Mine shifts through all the gears but second and third gear is a bit noisier. First gear is really quiet. So I think it just needs a slight adjustment. Great job!

Hi I have a little question for you: the bell crank (this grey thing you are showing in your video) of my Nexus 3 is cracked. If I buy a new one, do you think I can replace it without changing any other part of the shifter? I not good with repairing stuff but I think if i only have to replace that grey thing, it shouldn't be so difficult.

@Homeneer 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, sorry I'm not familiar repairing that part. The grey thing I call a spring in the video should be easy enough to change if you can find the part somewhere. So I would recommend trying it if the part isn't expensive. Still wondering is something stuck on the other side if that part in between cracked.

@@Homeneer Hi, sorry that actually the whole thing that you call the shifter unit that was cracked. I brought my bike at the bike shop tho change my rear tyre and one week later the shifter just srpung out of my bike.That part is a little bit cracked so it can't be fixed on the bike again. I have to buy a new unit, what a shame. Anyway thanks for the info!

@Homeneer 3 жыл бұрын

Oh okay. I think those are sold for around 15eur as a package including the shifter on the handlebar. Most likely you can just change the "shifter unit" and use the old wire and shifter. I would expect it to be a quite easy DIY fix.

@Homeneer 2 жыл бұрын

Sorry I dont know. I recently fixed a 11 speed and discovered that the different brands have different distances between the sprockets. So my guess is mixing brands will not work. If the bike has a sturmey archer rear hub most likely it needs a shifter unit from the same brand.
