Need your expertise: I am needing to change this cage to a longer one. Is it possible to swap a cage from a similar suntour derailleur and put on this Sprint? You seem most knowledgeable so would appreciate your advice. Thank you!

Existem algumas versões de câmbio campagnolo veloce ou centaur, que não aparece gravado a quantidade de velocidades...Como identificar isso?

Thank you for the instruction.. 👍

Also, if you find there's too much play at the mounting bolt, I found a very simple method to stiffen the mounting bolt on old SRAM XO and X9 rear derailleurs. Simply add a greased up o-ring between the B-plate and the bike drop-out before installing the derailleur. This pushes the B plate towards the wave washer, compressing it more and making the joint there stiffer. It worked wonders on my mountain bike! O-Ring size: -014: 1/2"ID x 5/8OD x 1/16CD

Those 4 pivot pins do come out, though it's not useful to do it. They are pressed into a black nylon sleeve washer, and there's currently no replacement for those. It's best to not mess with them, but they can be gently pressed out ( I used a small hex key to do it ).

I also have a similar RD-DE10 but mine doesn't have 'SP' in the branding, what's the difference?

Yo are you good? When are you coming back?

What size is the o-ring for the foot screw?

You did an amazing job! Some don't even bother take these "lower" end models apart but I think they are really worth it

I have this issue where when I'm on the small front chain ring and either hit a bump or sometimes when I switch from the big chain ring, the chain bounces a bit and it makes the chain ever so slightly slip off the guide pulley and it makes a skipping sound. I can then back pedal and it fixes it. It works fine 90% of the time and have a brand new hanger and have messed with the indexing a lot. It's driving me crazy. I'm starting to think it may have something to do with the spring since it's the chain bouncing a bit that causes it. Ultegra 6800. I'm going to take it apart and clean it, but any ideas?

there you go, there you go, there you go lol rebuild there you go 😂

Great vid, exactly what I was looking for! One of my wheels is broken, where’s the best place to find a replacement?

Hey retro you alright wondering when you'll be back

I took off my gaiter boots as well. I do not like the way they look. Good video. It's super simple.

Thanks for the video. I have a set of very similar ones on a 96 Klein Mantra Comp I purchased a few months ago. (Reads Mach 5 Cartridge on the side) I think they are the originals that came with the bike. They do function very well so I assume they have been rebuilt or the bike wasn't ridden that hard. Most the original parts are on the bike except one wheel looks different (one black one silver, though looks like from the same year generation of parts). When I gotten it it didn't shift well if at all. I replace one rear cable and did some adjustments and cleaning and it shifts in almost everything gear except the smallest front sprocket. (I don't care since I don't use those gears). I really like the Klein since it's a unique looking bike that still rides well despite it's age.

Nice! I have this on my Peugeot UO8. What size pulley

this is way too much grease

Awesome

Is there a link to the service kit?

Thank you for putting this video together! I am doing a retro rebuild on a bike that has this exact fork. So helpful!

These things are a work of art of engineering, even if it's complex! How well do these work after refurb?

I've watched a bunch of your videos rebuilding Marzocchi forks, these forks are a marvel of engineering and precision compared to contemporaries of the time and even now if you ask me.

These Marzocchi forks seem really well made; I just picked one off eBay with a 1" steer tube so I can rebuild it and put it on my Specialized Hardrock Sport.

I like the never to be seen again! Its as lesson i never learn. I get carried away and do these things on the lawn, the lawn is full of lost springs, nuts, circlip, ball bearings......

How close is the shaft of the shock unit supposed to be to the upper linkage and what might I have done wrong if it is touching? I think maybe the coil spring I salvaged from a random shock is a few mm too long? I had to preload a little it just to install into the shock with the blue nut all the way out

Thanks this video was incredibly helpful

How to remove the gauge?

Hola tengo una igual solo lleva 20 psi? No es muy poco?

Perfect! I have a few bombers and every time I go to service I have to search the web to refresh my memory. Saving this

Appreciate the tutorial - my vintage MTB is due for a refresh/rebuild and I have Manitou threes on it.

Good video. Not sure I understood about the two types of oil, right and left post… not clear. Any alternative to SRAM butter, for those who do that once in a lifetime? Some other grease that’s comparable?

You can pull the whole cage off if you remove the screw that you said was for tension--it's actually there to keep the pivot pin captive inside the knuckle. I've transplanted a whole cage from one derailleur to another. The RED of the same generation have a steel screw by a titanium pivot pin, and eventually the steel screw wears through the pivot pin. The rival (and force) have steel pins.

Ive always seen people use synthetic bike lubricant for the pulleys instead of grease, they would usually just grease the springs, not sure the reasoning but thought i would share

I have one just like it, what year is this model?

Something you may have overlooked: if you tighten the screws going through the wheels, it will lock them…. Not sure how to resolve that problem.

The parallelogram is made of stainless steel, I believe? SS is not magnetic

only way i can sleep at night is if the soothing lullaby of mr retros voice serenades me into a deep and moist slumber.

nice bro 🇲🇦👍

Thanks❤

Regarding the spring - the one that extends the parallelogram - I , too, had difficulty reassembling it and not cross threading the retaining pin. After two attempts, I noticed there was a small hole drilled into the bore of the upper mounting bolt area of the derailleur. I tried locating the short end of the spring into that hole, and it fitted perfectly, allowing correct alignment of the spring and retaining bolt, with no cross threading. I don't know for sure that the spring's tail is intended to fit into that hole, but it works well that way.

Olá, essa manutenção serve para qualquer modelo o câmbio mirage? Pois tenho o 8v e eu mesmo quero fazer manutenção.

Looks like you have the one with non-original pulleys. When I disassembled mine, I was surprised to see a really high-quality bearing pulley and ceramic! bushing pulley. And this is in SLX, insane how quality dropped over two decades.

Great video!! What's the tool you are using to pick and place the bearings?

There are at least two types of the Positron derailleur. One has the indexing function in the derailleur. The other type has it in the shift handle. They both work well if you keep them clean, adjusted and lubricated. Thanks for the video!

Thank you so much bro, literally my rear derailer came apart as I was putting my rear tire on and I had no idea which hole to put the spring in.

Superb.

sabras cuanto aceite utiliza por barra la Marzocchi Drop Off Triple ???

​ @RetroRebuilds What do the adjusters at either side on the top of the fork do, what does each side set?

Do you have a video on how to adjust this Campagnolo derailleur?

10/10 . Learn so much
