This still helps - although not as good as the original uncompressed version - you have to look more closely at the disassembly, and stop this one more often, but it's still do-able. It helps if you've done it before as well. Bike shops LOVE this because it's a real moneymaker - $35 - 45 for 15 - 20 minutes of work - I'll take it!

If you want to try this, it's worth it, if only to know what's going on in your bike.

ALSO you can upgrade ANY 8, 9, or 10 speed system from this period to be =Rec. 10

forse farlo un pò piu' veloce

What happened to the regular speed? I did this job last year and it was GREAT! - very easy to do, except the one part where they cut away for just a second as they were winding up the spring tension (yikes!) If you need this (as I do) to make you feel better about doing the job, you'll have to stop it every couple of seconds, and I'm not even sure that will do the trick.

Can we get the uncompressed video back? The video is hard to follow

[mjwilschut]

why the . is this compressed from 5 to 1 minute?

impossible to follow at the moment.

please return to normal speed.

I did it!!! Woot! couldn't have done it without this vid. Thanks, OP.

also, remember that you MUST do this with the 5mm hex of the main axle down on a Park 3 way tool, mounted good, in a solid VISE, leaving the shifter assembly upside down. apply grease with a toothpick to the brass sleeve bearing in the cleaned lever body before starting. Use a light grease, like Phil, Park, or Finish line. The final step is tough, with rotating that spring hub 'bout 180 deg for proper tension, then engaging it

[macdonaldjohnd]

when I assembled a CENTAUR 10 speed lever, i greased all friction surfaces with Finish Line white grease, very smooth. Now about the final engagement of the big rotator spring, it appears that he rotated the engagement hub about 180 deg before locking it in the main axle. Be sure to engage the spring with your shifter ALREADY in its most relaxed position , or lowest gear.

I think it shows that it's a fairly straight forward process. A shop shouldn't charge more than $50 for this procedure. The most common parts that need replacing are the G springs (the little springs he's installing at 1:00)
