    This is perhaps the clearest explanation of adjusting a front derailleur I've come across. Methodical from start to finish

    Thanks mate. Your rear derailleur video helped me tune. Prior to it i watched the Parktool one but it overcomplicated something which you explained very simply and with good camera angles too.

    Excellent video! Helped me resolve the front derailleur chain rub on a second hand bike (with a Shimano 105 groupset). The combination of the camera angles and clear explanation made it clear and simple to follow.

    Thanks for the video. Clear explanations together with great angles.
    Unfortuanately I wasn't sucessful. After adjusting the Lower limit and reatachin the cable, the shifting doesn't go up to the big cog. I put as much tension as I humanly could, in the cable and even with the tension adjuster to the max it wouldn't go to the big cog.
    The only way I managed it was also messing with the H limit, but then when I'm on the big cog I have rubbing in the High limit. Any suggestions?

  • @svkurowski

    Tried this today on my first road bike to fix the chain rubbing. Must have done something wrong, couldn’t find a position of the L screw where it didn’t rub and then when I tried to put things back together I couldn’t switch to large gear in front anymore. Will have to take her to the shop. Seems a bit weird to me to change the H screw so late in the process given that it seems to have so much impact (with it I could actually prevent the rubbing).

  • @carlaostler9439
    @carlaostler9439 5 місяців тому

    The chain is trying to grab onto the big cog when in "trim position" and slips. It's okay when doing a "full" shift. Any ideas?

  • @nicotielemans8767
    @nicotielemans8767 2 місяці тому

    Hey man, I have copied each step nicely and everything works but come across a problem, namely when pedaling the crankset around it repeatedly hits the cage of the front derailleur. So the derailleur protrudes too much, if I turn it backwards with the high limit screw then the problem is solved but the chain no longer jumps on the outer ring.
    Plz help 😅

  • @RyanNordle
    @RyanNordle 3 місяці тому

    Anyone know how to troubleshoot this problem:
    I set my low limit, clamp the cable back in the front derailleur, then use the tension screw until I get a good shift up to the big ring. All good, no rub. But then I go to align the top trim, and once I match the white lines using the tension screw, now I've got rub again.

    @rdhcreations 4 місяці тому

    I've watched close to 50 videos on this and follow step by step but it never works right. I have 3 chainrings and I can get it to go from smallest to middle. But when I click back down nothing happens. Or what will happen is I will go small, middle large and when I click back down it totally skips the middle.

    • @AveragestCyclist
      @AveragestCyclist 4 місяці тому

      Triples are the hardest to get right. Derailleur height is key, but this sounds like it could be a cable tension issue to me. Keep at it, you’ll get it dialed in.

    I cannot get the front and rear derailers to shift through all of the gears. What the fuck am I doing wrong? Does it have to do with cable tension? I really feel like I tried everything, but I’ve am about to burn this bicycle. Bicycles.
