It's been 2 years since I've installed my first AdventX derailleur. It's been through three pulley wheels replaced, I've smoked it innumerable times on the rocks and trees. Despite all of that, it was still able to shift. Now I plan to disassemble it and see if I could squeeze a little bit more life out of it. Great product!

I suspect most riders that have a sticky clutch just need to adjust the tension. My clutch was sticking so removed the cover, completly backed off the tension then retightened. Been working great since.

For people having a sticky clutch, i had it too on my advent x, but before disassembling the whole derailleur try blasting the clutch with wd40 and then leaving it to dry. It solved it for me

@ErrybodyGetTypsy Год назад

LOVE my bulletproof, affordable as f*** Advent 9-speed! Shifts flawlessly but the clutch has started to feel a little sticky when testing it by hand. Thank you so much for posting this video!

@microSHIFTTECH Год назад

The clutch should feel slightly sticky - it takes a bit of force to overcome the initial friction caused by the friction washer inside.

Very helpful, thank you!

I disassemble the clutch system and it was dead easy. Very simple engineering here. And if you look at their manuals you hardly can make any mistake. Just try not to lose the springs because they are very small

woo yeah baby! that's what I've been waiting for, that's what it's all about

Love the background music, this is like watching bike repair porn ;-)

I thought I just watched this vid the other day. In any case it’s crazy you guys reposted this vid because my Advent 9 cage just bent on me this morning and now I gotta take it to the shop!

@microSHIFTTECH 2 года назад

It was a music change. lol. I hope the bend was not too bad.

@zu_1455 2 года назад

@@microSHIFTTECH too bent. Don’t know how it happened. Took the wheel off to clean cassette before replacing chain, put everything together and there was serious rubbing on the lil tab inside. Used this video as reference to take the derailleur apart and straighten but no go. Currently waiting for LBS to open so I can get an Advent X cuz that’s all they got in stock

@zu_1455 2 года назад

@@microSHIFTTECH checked and triple checked chain routing just to make sure I’m not crazy

Please acolyte maintenance video too!

@j.f.4765 Год назад

Is it possible to replace both left and right pulleys? I bent mine. But have since bent it back straight and it still works a treat.

@isaacbrooks5999 2 года назад

Any recommendations for aftermarket jockey wheels (10 speed derailleur; 12 and 14 tooth wheels maybe)? I absolutely love your whole drivetrain, and I've ridden it really hard. The teeth are starting to wear down a bit after a year and a half.

@ThunderGoatz 2 года назад

Whats stopping someone from taking the cover off and cleaning the clutch with IPA whilst its still installed? Your video doesn't really seem to show much in the way of cleaning.

@oabdiel31 8 месяцев назад

I have an advent x there are times when when you change the sprocket it stays stuck and the chain stays loose, because it will be.

@jaymiebulaong7806 3 месяца назад

Good day. I was hoping if you have a manual for clutch maintenance of Acolyte?

@microSHIFTTECH 3 месяца назад

The SpringLock system uses extra spring tension to keep the chain on. As such, it doesn't need lubrication or any regular servicing.

@dennisyoung4631 Год назад

Question: maintaining those pulley wheels? (Just got done cleaning and lubing them with SuperLube grease.)

@microSHIFTTECH Год назад

Best thing to do is just keep em clean!

@khellstr Год назад

Any advice when it is a good time to do this? Is there any specific malfunctioning that indicates it might be a good time to clean the Clutch? And is this like once in a season thing or more often? ( surely it depends on a lot how much and how you ride...)

@microSHIFTTECH Год назад

All clutch cleaning and maintenance is sort of an "as necessary" thing. If your clutch stops working, you can certainly replace it with the instructions here, or you can also just fill out a warranty claim if you bought it less than 4 years ago.

@reeeeeem69420 2 года назад

Is it safe to use paint thinner/mineral spirits to clean it instead of IPA?

@microSHIFTTECH 2 года назад

We suggest sticking with rubbing alcohol or a light degreaser. If you try it, the key will be to wipe off all excess so you do not contaminate the friction washers. Thank you!

@dorsch250 9 месяцев назад

will this fix my advent x not tensioning as long as the clutch is activated?

@microSHIFTTECH 9 месяцев назад

Yes, it should help. If you continue to have problems after you've serviced it, please reach out to our customer service team via our website.

@paests Год назад

Hi, is there any part that needs lubrication? I find that de-tensioning the clutch so it doesn't stick, results in zero effect when engaged. thks.

@microSHIFTTECH Год назад

The clutch is supposed to slow down the motion of the cage. It sounds like you should be running a higher tension on your clutch. I'm not sure what you mean by sticking, but it should be hard to push.

@paests Год назад

@@microSHIFTTECH by stick I mean that it doesn't return backwards as I shift to a smaller cog. This results in an overly slack chain that falls off
