How To Position Front Derailleur The Best Way For Perfect Shifting
I share insider knowledge of faults bike manufacturers and shops leave to save costs in Tour de Bike 2024.
This is the 14th of a 21 stage tour of a new bike , like the Tour de France. I point out what the manufacturers or the shop you bought it from didn't do when it was built. Very little effort has been put into setting up your new bike's front derailleur position. This the fundamental first step to getting the best possible shifting.
I show you how it can be done very quickly and easily. This is the fundamental way to set up any bike's front derailleur, regardless of age or brand. Each video shows a different problem and how to sort it out without completely pulling the bike apart.

You may just need to replace them so you can fit different ratios. Like most bike maintenance jobs, there are hard ways and easy ways.

    Brilliant... many thanks. I have found correct front derailleur settings to be critically important when using wider range touring triples...to get a good shift up or down, everything has to be spot on. I wish I had seen your video ten years ago which would have prevented all the fits and starts of self-learning.

      You should take it back to the shop and get them to sort it out. If it's new and it hasn't been set up properly that could cause skipping.... gears not indexed, loose cassette, bent hanger or B-screw being over tightened are some causes if it's a new bike.

    Hi there, can you advise? I’ve just replaced my cassette, chain and rear derailleur. All Shimano 11 speed 105. But mainly on the large chain ring and under pressure/incline, the chain jumps quite badly. I’ve been told the teeth maybe warn on the large ring.

    Fantastic video. I have been mountain biking 30 years and I still learned something. I use my chain checker regularly but not in the largest sprocket on the cassette. It does put the chain under more tension and gives a more accurate reading just as you say. Thank you very much, that is how I will check the chain from now on.

    Nice job here from BB, Ah Ha factors: 1) leading edge of cogs curved to (cassette/chainrings) sharp point, 2) Don't over oil the chain! and keep it clean of muck. Sometimes I get a skip of the chain "when standing on the pedals" during a power sprint, up a short incline. Also, I'll get the chain checker, Thanks from Fullerton, California

  • @bjornlangoren3002
    @bjornlangoren3002 2 місяці тому

    I have an old Giant chromoly frame with a mishmash of components. It will skip out of first to second under extreme load. I dont have all my bike tools at that location so I just live with it. Pretty sure it is just a bit of frame flex, as the wire is routed under the bottom bracket. It only happens at a 100 yard long extremely steep hill, which starts at the bottom of a river gorge, and of course starts with a turn just by the bridge. The way to get across, is to put the gear in first riding down the gorge, and let the brakes up when nearing the bottom for max speed, but not so much speed that you fall in the river. Then, spin as fast as possible with as light a touch on the pedals as possible, to get to the top, and after that take it easy for a minute to bring the pulse down from hummingbird to human levels. Any deviation from this method will mean walking that hill, or worse, go for a swim.

    Haha moment: once in a while, rotate a bit your chain rings relative to the crank. No wait… that’s too much work. Note that on some casettes, cogs 1-2-3 maybe also 4 can be replaced: uses these as much as possible. Another note: I have over oiled one of my bikes with plenty of motor oil and it lasted forever. Never clean, always oil, excess and gunk falls off. The bike is now 50 years old, a Peugeot touring bike, on its original chain.

    I once had three punctures in less than a mile. It was because of a thorn in the tire that I couldn't see or feel from the inside or the outside of the tire while it was off the rim. Somehow, after patching the tube, then mounting the tire and inflating, that thorn then punctured my tube again (twice). This was a kiawe (Kee-AHH-vay) thorn, in Hawaii. So much fun.
