I'll give this a thumbs up just for you saying "derailer" like a proper person without an extra "eeuu" near the end. Hearing people say "derailleeuur" really grinds my gears for some reason!
This video was great, I’m in need of this exact fix on my MTB... from your description I suspect the horizontal alignment is off. Ordering the tool now, thanks James!
@@Jamesthebikeguy I finally got the tool and definitely had some adjustments to align my hanger. Now I’m able to shift up and down the whole cassette without any weird skipping or rubbing! Huge thanks man, I was really discouraged about doing my own work. Felt like I couldnt even index my gears right!
Thanks for this. When I reattach my derailleur to the hanger, it pivots around the mount screw and it seems there are different angles on the Y axis that I can mount it at. At this point I am unsure of how to remount the XT derailleur onto the hanger at the correct angle.
Bought a new hanger. It’s a Union brand, GH-192 for my CAAD8. I still need to align it? I thought i just need to put the screws in, put the rd and wheel back in, adjust the limit and b screws and indexing if necessary.
1x is easier because you don’t have to think about choosing between the front chainrings. The only cons is cassette cogs usually have bigger jump(11-13-15 etc) For a recreational rider like me,you get used to it. I hope it helps. 😉
This is disgusting. I do not know the reason for these prices. It is just a small piece of aluminum that does not even take time to manufacture. Also, companies are deliberately making complex designs so that one is not made manually and forcing people to buy one at an expensive price in exchange for a piece that did not cost The company is more than one dollar
