Only a dumb ass would shift while the chain is "BAR TIGHT" Ive been riding 35 + years and I think I know how to shift a bike and I always do so with minimal force being applied to the pedals. To shift while standing up tourquing the hell out of a is very bad advise and expect pain or worse if a malfunction happens. then again I could be influenced the fact Im 6'5" 279 lbs and have had my fair share of derailleur failure

Well don't...you're not supposed to.

The title of this video should be 'how to change gears'...there is no derailleur adjustment here whatsoever. Stupid video!

This doesnt really tell me how to fix the front derailleur of my bike

@Intelpentium54321 Mee too, what I gather is that we use all 21 but there are some combinations that we do not use. That would mean 14 useable combinations using all 7 +3 sprockets but not 21 actual shifts to get going from stop to full speed.. I had more fun with no gears. LOL

[rayunseitig]

I can't get mine to go into the 3rd gear on the front derailleur. The one.

So not all gears are useable, see I learned something.

thanks
