1. Thank you so much!
2. What happens if the Derailleur tention is very lose, will the chain be too lose.
3. Is it wise to check wheel bearings for play first?
4. just did this and my gears now run smoothly, thanks a lot!
   
   one problem though, it seems to skip the second to highest gear more often than not. Either way it just goes past it into the next gear. every time I adjusted something to try fix this the other gears wouldn't run smoothly so I've left it for now. have you any advice on what this could be? cheers.
5. I have found this very useful, thank you very much.
6. sorry i did not mean it that way. this is what i do. i see to it that the axles are flush to the frame. with the chain removed and the cable uncoupled i push the derailleur manually to the largest cog and set the screw to perfect alignment same as with the smallest cog. install the chain. attach the cable to tightest as much as you can pull and lock. set the cable tension on the fly to flat and uphill roads until shifting is crisp. with new cables some amount of stretching will occur turn just do the same to set tension on the fly to adjust. easy for me and works perfectly
7. this not correct way. remove chain and adjust accordingly by setting screws
8. Liked the corrections on the video bro.. i just adjusted my bike's gears.. peace!!
9. So in this case we are adjusting a newly installed cable? I have watched several of these "How to" videos, and in all of them there is nothing to indicate a proper starting point. I have a few questions, pardon me if they seem too obvious -
   
   1. What position should the front derailleur be in while adjusting the rear? And vice versa?
   2. Does it matter which derailleur is adjusted first?
   3. Can the high limit and low limit adjustments be made (roughly) without the chain on the bike? This assumes that an final adjustment would still be required.
   
   I see this was uploaded more than four years ago. Harrumph! I didn't have a second hand bicycle to adjust in 2012. Thanks it was helpful.
10. There are many videos and methods presented, by far this is the better of many, from an aducator.
11. my barrel adjuster is up by the gear shifter i believe...it is the same thing even though it isnt back by the derailer right? There is no adjustment barrel by my derailer..it either didn't come with it or it might have broken off?
12. Excellent. Thanks for sharing. My local bike shop messed up the low limit and scratched the spokes on my 1k wheels. So pissed.
13. Thank You Very much Sir.
    I didn't know how to adjust the gears and been struggling for about 4 months with my bikes gears. I was ready to sell it after getting tired of it and then I saw your video. Thank you it really helped me.
14. thanks for the video it helped a lot
15. Can anyone help me? That leaver thing below the cassette keeps jamming the chain. It shouldn't move forward and it does?
16. Thank you so much for making this video for someone like me. I didnt know much about how to adjust the bike gear. Your video is very helpful because it was in detail step by step and your voice were perfectly clear. Again. thanks a million, our and now you should make another video about how to service your wheel. Good Job...
17. Cable.
18. yes can you show how you were able to use the ladder as a bike stand? i would like to have the same set up at home. thank you in advance...
19. Thanks for the vid mate, hopefully this will get my gears sorted.... i've been pulling my hair out :-P
20. @BikeFIXIT how did you macgyver a bike stand from a ladder?
