Front Derailleur Adjustment | Achieve Smooth Gear Changes! 

This is perhaps the clearest explanation of adjusting a front derailleur I've come across. Methodical from start to finish

Absolutely the best video on this Front Derailleur Adjustment !

Ditching my front mech was the most liberating thing ever.

Thanks mate. Your rear derailleur video helped me tune. Prior to it i watched the Parktool one but it overcomplicated something which you explained very simply and with good camera angles too.

Excellent video! Helped me resolve the front derailleur chain rub on a second hand bike (with a Shimano 105 groupset). The combination of the camera angles and clear explanation made it clear and simple to follow.

Thanks for this, you’ve provided a really clear description of the process which is not immediately obvious.

Thanks for the video. Clear explanations together with great angles. Unfortuanately I wasn't sucessful. After adjusting the Lower limit and reatachin the cable, the shifting doesn't go up to the big cog. I put as much tension as I humanly could, in the cable and even with the tension adjuster to the max it wouldn't go to the big cog. The only way I managed it was also messing with the H limit, but then when I'm on the big cog I have rubbing in the High limit. Any suggestions?

Hey man, I have copied each step nicely and everything works but come across a problem, namely when pedaling the crankset around it repeatedly hits the cage of the front derailleur. So the derailleur protrudes too much, if I turn it backwards with the high limit screw then the problem is solved but the chain no longer jumps on the outer ring. Plz help 😅

Your videos are by far the best I have seen

Tried this today on my first road bike to fix the chain rubbing. Must have done something wrong, couldn’t find a position of the L screw where it didn’t rub and then when I tried to put things back together I couldn’t switch to large gear in front anymore. Will have to take her to the shop. Seems a bit weird to me to change the H screw so late in the process given that it seems to have so much impact (with it I could actually prevent the rubbing).

The best and quickest explanation. Thank you so much!

My front derailleur has never performed better. I had quite a bit of adjusting to do, after ruining it with the unfortunately outdated Parktool video.

Anyone know how to troubleshoot this problem: I set my low limit, clamp the cable back in the front derailleur, then use the tension screw until I get a good shift up to the big ring. All good, no rub. But then I go to align the top trim, and once I match the white lines using the tension screw, now I've got rub again.

Thank mate, but after the adjustment, my crank arm rubbed with the outter of front derailler? please help.

This video is the best. Works perfectly. Thanks man!

I'm selling my bike, so this's perfect to get things smoothly handed-over. 😂 😊 If it's a little rough, I won't be satisfied. 😂 So, thank you for your guidance!

I'm on the verge of tears I've been working on this godforsaken bike all day and every time i try again from the beginning it screws something else up but I can't afford to get it tuned at the shop

It took me hours did you get mine right the first time. But man that was satisfying now it takes me about 5 minutes practice makes perfect!

This is the most helpful instruction on the topic I found on You Tube. Maybe reduce the number of spoken “go ahead” statements. (American speak). Many thanks.

Knowledge of maintaining your road bike can be challenging,but this video is very useful. Thank you for sharing

I moved front low screw and there was still rubbing on chain

The park tool video is rubbish, so is the one by GCN This is the only video that explains everything and doesn't leave anything out

You are the only video that actually helped me fix my problem. Thanks a lot

u know what....i really needed this video lol perfect timing..got a new mtb with 27 gears and the barrel adjuster got messed up by my friend .....bro is now in heaven😂

such a good video! 😮‍💨

You definitely helped me

Excellent tutorial.

Fantastic video thank you! The adjustment is slightly more complicated than a traditional derailleur but you made it very clear.

I was having problems with adjusting my new front Shimano 105 , but your instructions worked. Thanks.

I cannot get the front and rear derailers to shift through all of the gears. What the fuck am I doing wrong? Does it have to do with cable tension? I really feel like I tried everything, but I’ve am about to burn this bicycle. Bicycles.

I’ve been having trouble getting my 105 fd set just right….this video was precise and easily understandable

Good

Great vid. But the H/L screws are not "limit" screws as they were in the old days - the H is a upshift extension screw.

The chain is trying to grab onto the big cog when in "trim position" and slips. It's okay when doing a "full" shift. Any ideas?

Kudos! Such a good video. No BS, straight to the point, clearly explained! Thanks a lot

The best video about fornt derailleur i have ever seen no one say a clear setup about cable and shifting damnit

Well done! Watched a few vids before this one but they were not as clear as you were.

Youre the man! I tuned my front derailleur because of this video

awesome explaination , thanks for not going off topic or telling me the history of the derailleur

Fantastic, very clear and usefull. Thanks a lot!

I am going to replace my cables with new ones when my derailleur arrives, do I need a front in line barrel adjuster or can I do away with it as it has the tension screw on the derailleur

I've watched close to 50 videos on this and follow step by step but it never works right. I have 3 chainrings and I can get it to go from smallest to middle. But when I click back down nothing happens. Or what will happen is I will go small, middle large and when I click back down it totally skips the middle.

This videos best man, Thank you so much!!!!

What to do if the shifter is too hard to push and can't shift to 3 gear

Hi! I followed the video, and the lowest and highest gear are perfect but the middle one is rubbing. What can I do?

so far this is the best vidoe. Thanks!

Very clear and not too long either, very to the point, thanks a lot!

Watched a bunch of videos on derailleur adjustment, this is buy far the best. Thanks!

Excellent instruction thanks

thank you for the full frond and rear deraieuller videos. steps by steps instructions. for noobs is the best. ))))

Best description I've seen for front mech. Thankyou.

Super! Thanks

👍👍👍

Great man ❤

Saved me a trip to the bike shop, tension was way off not allowing it to be adjusted by the screw so it wouldn't go into the larger gear

So helpful! Thank you!!

Another excellent video f rom Buycycle

I'm new to road cycling and this video gave me confidence to fix my derailleur issues myself. Thanks!
