Fascinating I have a long cage Deore XT RD, so the pig's tail is too short to reach all the way up and hook onto the attachment point of top pulley I suppose part of my problem is that I don't own one of them there new-fangled RDs so I have little idea what they look like In general, I might be able to visualize such a new-fangled RD In specific, this particular black-colored RD, along with relatively low-light in the video, makes it hard to determine the exact make/model which would aid me in visualizing the situation Last point - from the video, it appears that I need to back pedal in order to engage the cleaning process of the pig. Again, since I have an 8 speed peasant cogset, I'm sure my chain is much wider than the corresponding chain in the video's 12/13 cog setup This would explain why it is really difficult to back-pedal - with the pig staying in place - without significant effort on my part. In the video, this charming woman - who doesn't speak American English - appears to be having a really easy time back-pedaling I also admit is part of my problem is that I am the absolute opposite of a VSL¹, that is, someone whose brain naturally forms and stores visual images in (brain) memory What does anyone expect from me? I am a theoretical mathematician, not an applied one Now, if anyone wants to discuss my area of specialization, Galois Theory, I would be deliriously happy to do so 1. Visual Spatial Learner
The derailleur in this video is a Shimano XT 12 speed , did you try changing gears in order to change the tension of the derailleur and therefore have the chain closer to the middle part of the derailleur ? In this video the chain is on the smaller side of the cassette (not the smallest cog but close). The back pedalling should work just as well with an 8 speed chain. I hope that helps 😊
Total unintentional ASMR. Love it.
Thanks
Awesome video, thanks!!
Glad you liked it!
Very nicely done...thank you.
Thanks, glad you liked it 😊
thx purchased today :)
Thanks for the support !
I just used the product, I like it very much. My chain is clean and shiny & ready to add new lube 🚲✨️
Good to hear 🫡
Does the pig fit on Brompton two-speed derailleur? 🐷🦊
I believe it does
I just ordered this pig chain cleaner 🐖🚲
Amazing thanks for support 🤝
It's too bad the pig 2 doesn't work for insane people who don't have derailleurs, lol!
Wouldn't it still work where you just have to hold it in place? I have a Rouloff and am looking at the same scenario as you, no derailleur.
@@Torch4Life well, yes, and I do have a derailleur, to clarify
For single speed bikes (bmx, dirt jump… ) you can hook it next to the cassette on the hub/axle or as Torch Matic said , hold it it place 👍
@@pedroseurope awesome! Thank you
