How to Fix Bicycles : How to Adjust Front Derailleur on a Bicycle

[hrzan]

this is about the cables, not about derailleur adjustment!!!

[spudghettios]

what a bunch of dicks. If he is not adjusting a derailleur then what is he adjusting? Its no wonder nobody wants to help people with degenerates like you flaming anyone who doesn't do it the way you want.

[ishotthepuppy]

well this was surley a waste of time, next time label your vids correctly!

[CentralSpiritOnline]

this has absolutely nothing to do with front derailleurs...

[atlwolf3]

Can Amish people ride bikes?

[johnygogo]

this also helped me..just another piece of the puzzle! thks!!

[stanzy410]

this helped me :)

[frenchfurze]

this is of no use

[rctrucknut]

How about showing the viewers how to adjust the high end and low end settings, there is much more to a derailleur than just cable tension.

usless!!!

[frogjim]

uh?

[martysaysso]

soooooooo.....how do i adjust the Derailleur?

[n01rationalist]

Excellent presentation. Clear, simple, concise and informative. If only all youtube instructional videos were as good as this.

[Abiliti3z96]

Any one know how to fix a bent Derailleur ?

[AdelaidePoms]

@Abiliti3z96 - I'd say don't fix, - replace it, not a lot of money to do that. If you try repair you'll have no end of trouble with gear changes to the extent that you'll wish you'd fit new first time around. If the bike isn't worth spending too much money on, visit your local dealer and ask if they have an old second hand but decent one. They should help and advise on fitting if they are a decent dealer.

[rodrick4500]

you mention nothing about the 2 screws on the detailer itself

[lkfh]

POLITICS where? RACISM where? I'm too lazy to read. Go beardy go!

[cronosxxx]

Thanks I already did it and its shifting fine now.

[chewbuggars]

cool. this is almost the exact same bike i have :D don't know why rating is so low. this vid helped a lot. thx

Are u looking for the derailleur or brake cable nut? The cable nut or bolt should be located close to the end of the cable, just beyond the fine tuner of the rear derailleur (the front derailleur doesn't have a fine tuner close to the bolt). Same with the brake cables depending type of brakes. By means of it the cables are tightly fastened. Hard to miss, search for them carefully.

[cuevarap]

Engrave this in your mind: barrel adjusters are only fine tuners (brakes or derailleurs) producing millimetric movements; clockwise they loosen the cable, counter clockwise they tighten. The heavy adjustment is done through the cable nut.

[LongliveNessie]

i have a really old bike i just got and cant find the cable nut.. wheres it at.

People, this is a video on how to adjust a front deraileur. Why are you arguing about international politics and racism here? Please! (Rolling my eyes.)

[yallneedtosmokeweed]

[Gutsukyo]

@drexelur1: I guess some people are just so stupid. Lol

[drivenad66113355]

this was a good video. Now make one on how to adjust a Felt B2

[tamadun]

good job, prariepath!

[anthonydacko51]

On some cheaper bikes the derailer barrol on the handal bar may not be ajustable.

[6mmhunter1]

one or "tother" nothing else, unless its bent

[6mmhunter1]

dtballer although your comment was 7 months ago and probably have figured it out by now, by you loosening the "screw" of the barrel adjustment you are bringing the housing further away from the object you are adjusting making it a more tense line, my question for you is what spring r u refering too? there is no spring in this equation that has any affect on anything (if that helps) your spring it not adjustable the stops are but not the spring it's wither tension or stopping points

[wjp255]

Me a fascist? Hardly. I think your whole country reeks of fascism. After all, what about 6 million dead Jews at the hand of a madman? Guten tag!

[lustikus888]

your are the typically american fool who thinks that the now living germans are the same RACIST (not facist you nutter) as 60 years ago. i think what america does to the world today is not even better than the shit that this little homophobic pussy named hitler did. hail to the real nazis, you americans!

[johnstall5350]

very educated statement....

first there is no way to define a typical american because there are way to many different sub-cultures in america.

also besides the fact that your comparison of america to nazis is just ridiculous, you fail to realize that the government and their actions, and americans (the people) are two different things.

[lustikus888]

oh well, i ment the government. and such americans like him. read carefully and then start to argue, please.

[johnstall5350]

read carefully?! i did and the way you wrote it clearly was in part directed at americans and not just the government (whether you meant for it or not thats still how you wrote it). and the fact that you even had to explain yourself shows that.

[lexaron]

gonna wanna !

[dtballer23]

can someone help me with the barrel adjuster? is tightening the cable when the spring gets compressed or relaxed?

[mobzapper]

Thanks for the informative clip it really helped out a lot. Buy the way good to see that Taliban Johnny is out of prison and has become a productive member of society.

[jnbri1]

I'm having trouble shifting down.  Does this mean I should loosen the cable?

[Plisken1986]

I think so. i'm having the same problem. I'm gonna go check my bike out now.

[liuwenjie6678]
