Cleaning your cassette and chain should be the first step!

After watching a dozen videos, this one was by far the easiest to comprehend and apply to a bike I just purchased(gear issues from the retail store’s set up).

This is the clearest explanation I've seen, even though I run single speed, this will be helpful in tuning my friends bikes!

Having a bent rd hanger is really a problem. It's sometimes impossible to tune with this problem.

I pretty much always check the hanger first. It's bent on half the bikes that come in. After I know that the hanger is straight I can go into adjustments

These are really good little shorts. I'm learning a lot from them 😃

Straightening the derailleur hanger is one of the most common "repairs" we do at our bike shop! If it's misaligned you can adjust all you want without getting it to shift smoothly.. Awesome vid explaining the basics tho!

Shifting adjustments are why I bought an Archer D1X...saves me so much time and I don’t have to mess with this stuff much (accept on the kiddos bikes) 😀. Another great video!

My chain was skipping on lower gears. After I tried your fix, it worked! Im a subscriber now. Love how easy and fast you provide knowledge. ❤

I manage to fix my bike thanks to you ❤

I've just done a 1x upgrade and I completely forgot about the b screw this helped alot

Also check if teeth, cogs are bent, if there is play in the chainrings, this can happen with riveted chainrings, these things can cause shifting issues, chain might struggle to get up to next cog, it cogs or teeth are bent you might be able use a flat headed screw driver to straighten the teeth and cogs, but it won't be perfect, and you will struggle to do it with the smallest cog, you don't want to mess up the frame or cause harm to your self, but the others you can do it to, but if the cogs have too much play you can't solve this, I've done that with few tens of km on Sunrace 11-50t cassette I used with 32t oval.

ThankYou, it worked. 😊 Happy New Year!

First step; check if your drivetrain is worn. If so, adjusting will be a waste of time.. Greetings from a Dutch bike mechanic.

bent derailleur hanger , thats my prob

You saved my derilalier I catully love u

Awesome explanation can you create a video explaining how to align gear shifts with numbers on gear changer

Fixed it with this video 🎉thanks

Thanks guys. Your way of explaining was so perfect it clicked!! In my brain lol

Tysm 😊

this helped me so much! Thanks!

You can also tighten and loosen the barrel adjuster until the pulley wheel closest to the sprockets is under the correct gear. Doesn't have to to 100% if it looks right, it is right. If this still causes issues then adjust no more than 2 revolutions either side. If the problem persists, clean your drivetrain and make sure your wheel is on securely. If that doesn't work take it to a bike shop

So helpful. Thanks.

So much help!

I'll give it a try. I have a new chain, crankset and rear cassette and am still having issues. My chain broke, which is how I got to this point.

It is so helpful. Thanks a lot

Thank you sm!!

Nah my derailleur hanger's just bent😂

It looks like this video helped me stop skipping chain

This quick tutorial has proven inestimably valuable as I've had to adjust quite frequently over the last few Months... One other question: could incorrectly cutting chain length (say a too long chain on a hardtail) mess with the cassette to chainring tension and cause skipping issues?

I just talked to a friend about dropping my chain yesterday. Google is all up in my business 😅

I just wanna know what bike that is the colors look awesome

Also check your cables and conduits, they may be filled with dust/gunk and need replacement

Sub’d for future bike maintenance. Quality channel, thx for the content.

More things it cna be: bent rear derailleur, bent cage, worn out pivots in parellogram, it can be is stiff link in the chain. Snapped tooth on cassette, it can be too stiff old lube causing the chain to move slowly and be too stiff. Play in the freehub, causing the cassette to danse. The frame being so flexy the hanger bends during the ride.

Thanks

Question: Before adjusting the cable at the derailleur bolt, should one set the barrel adjuster to its approximate "middle" of the screw to allow for fine tuning in either direction, yea?

Very help full my gears are fixed

if only half of the cassette is changing well, it's time to align the derailleur hanger ;) never forget this step

What do I do if when I ride my bike and I stand up to pedal it just keeps skipping not gears for just when I Pedal

Hmm useful thx

What’s the “stop”?

They all rush through the method I'm almost given up I'm trying to reattach a chain and the pin just kicks in one side but not the other

You make if sound so easy

Ah thanks basic cable adjustment

What do I do if it shifts fine on the stand but when I am on the trail in any of the lower gears it skips teeth and clips all the time? Please help

Good👍

Park Tool made an extremely simple video on this

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!:-). SO GREAT AND SIMPLE!!!!! GLORIA DIOS!!!!YOU ARE THE WOAH-MAN!!!!!❤:-)

I built a sleeper drag truck that was less complicated than these bikes now days.

Which way do you turn the barrel adjuster to loosen cable tension

This is why I ride fixed gear lol

Like it

first step is replace the entire bike and get no groupset

Clean, then repair

Did you guys get all that LOL

I don’t have a Derailer on my bike it has gears

I took my bike to a local bike shop for derailleur adjustment and it still wasn't right. Rather than take it back to the young man I took it to a father son shop. It took them an hour to get it sift properly. The problem turned out to be my slightly bent Derailleur Hanger and that was before this crash ;-) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rpNjesSVtJ2rZps.html

Tips just use a single gear

Or bent der hanger 🤷🏻‍♂️

Park tool female version

🙂

Or just buy SRAM.

really people need vid for this? ok

Or buy a new hanger
