How to Adjust a Front Derailleur

Yea sure, I couldn't finish watching..😅 this is why I don't bother and I take it to my LBS. Waaaay too many back and forth, this screw that screw, that barrel adj. Etc..exhausting just listening..🙄

What an absolute master

Calvin, I love you, but please blink

must have missed something this was no help

You rock! Just saved me some money at the bike shop. Thanks, man!🤩

Every few months, I watch this video a couple of times.

Mulțumesc pentru sfaturile dumneavoastră. Tot ce Învăț din videoclipurile dumneavoastră este util.

Your knowledge is impressive.
You explained a rather difficult procedure clearly.
Thank you.

Saved our Christmas. Thanks!

Thanks a lot brother you're a saviour

PREACH!

I understand almost everything except for those barrel adjusting parts. Could be because I never tried them but I am somewhat afraid to mess with it. Can anyone help me understand it?

Perfectly explained, thank you !

What a great and helpful video. The schematics and illustrations make this video top notch!!

Thansk you so much for the video I learnd from you a lot

For years I thought I'm doing it wrong. Turned out there's a compatibility limitation. Thank you for this video.

instruction is excellent 👍, but the technology is old and complicate it needs to be replaced by a new simple better technology😊

Someone please get rid of this technology. It is too old and too complicated and cumbersome. What a waste of time and money😢

Thanks again , I think I need my front derailleur cage replaced, I got a super cheap £400 bike off amazon it has disk breaks and a great aluminium frame but I replaced the mechanical breaks with m2 hydraulic breaks and the non adjustable masura suspension for air bike adjustable forks and got a sel royal royalgel saddle and changed the chain to a heat treated galvanised chain and its now a great bike , I also got some carbon fibre adhesives for chain guard and in between the mudguards that I also replaced , I have used your videos and am very greatfull for your help 👍

Thanks!

Thanks for this great video it really helped and the index tuning really suprised me 😮 i never seen this technuiqe and I was suorised once it workd and it worked really well thanks you are an asome guy😊❤

After 20 years of owning bikes and cycling, I go to the shop

Thanks so much- great tutorial. It was driving me crazy as I couldn’t workout why the chain is still rubbing on smallest to smallest gear!

I always have issues with tension(front ring). I always need moderate force to shift from the smallest to middle. But when I try to shift to the largest it's way too hard to shift and I worry ill end up burst the cable or breaking the shifter before it shifts. (It's an older bike I got from my grandfather and the spring in the front derailer is pretty rusted )

I just subscribed to your channel😊

Thank you for the info 🙏Great video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

This is how a great video instruction is done.

What if there is no motion with the L screw?

Where does the extra chain goes while shifting to lower gear ?

thank you, I finally did it❤

thank you very much for sharing the how the front derailleur works. i was able to move derailleur move to the top gear yet the derailleur needs to be replaced

Great video!

I hope I never have to take Calvin on in a staring match haha! This is such a clear and informative video. Concise explanations and very helpful illustrations.

I habe this exact front derailleur and it has been going strong for 12 years of heavy use and only needed new cables once in its lifetime. Not the prettiest, but ultra reliable.

This is so complicated

Hello im 12 years old and i just finished my first bike built i built it by my self but my dad only helped me with the cables is it good for a 12 year old?

thanks--btw--I bet those folks working on SpaceX couldn't figure out derailleurs! 🙄

Grate video. It makes it look soooo easy :) But I still have a problem that I cannot solve: when shifting from 2 -> 3, I cant get the index (? is this how it is called) to reach number 3. sometimes the chain does move to the larger cog but the index stays at 2, so when i want to go down from 3 -> 2, because of the index, it goes directly to 1.... i tried everything in the tutorial, toying with the tension of the cable.... everything, and still no luck. any tips?

My bike still doesn't go to highest gear

The best explanation ever !!! Thanks for such good content !

How much does this approximately cost in a shop to get done?

This is amazing. I have not touched a bicycle in a decade and now I just got one so my kid and I can ride. Bought an el cheapo online so lots of things to adjust, good thing we have this video. Thank you!

This is the place for solutions regarding bicycle problems ! ....I'm here at any time ❤

Also one must first have a precise and personal method!!

Is there a tool to hold the clamp in place after adjustment so one could tighten the clamp without it moving? Regardless of marking where it should be ?
