Tuning the gears on a Mountain Bike 🛠️

[@batemansbikeco]

Hey everyone! Enjoy this little vid. Note that the white Sram b-tension guide tool should be used when the bike’s suspension is at full sag. In this video we use it in the repair stand as a demonstration, but for proper tuning you’ll want to set the B tension with the bike’s suspension loaded up 🤙

[@jrdl30]

Hi! I want to watching your video explain available? Thank sir!

[@phorest]

You can do it in the stand by letting some air out of the shock [after noting the pressure] and pulling the rear wheel up towards the seat rails with a strap/rope/etc. till you reach your sag point.

[@batemansbikeco]

@@phorest This is a great tip!

[@wtfvids3472]

"b-tension guide tool" mother of... can you explain in english wtf that does and i doubt it works on all bikes...

[@batemansbikeco]

@@wtfvids3472 That is the name of the tool. It is used to help set the proper B-tension adjustment on Sram Eagle 12s rear derailleurs

[@Hecker9974]

My cheap AliExpress derailleur was being a bitch when shifting to lower gears, I had enough and after giving it a good kick the mf was shifting smoother than when it was new

[@surya20001]

[@DanielGonzalez-td4mo]

The final result of this adjustment was just so pleasant to watch, what a lovely beautiful gear adjustment

[@Spacemanis]

I've watched loads of videos on derailleur adjustment and I swear this short is probably the best one I've seen. Just simple and shows exactly what to do and when... Love it

[@Adam-vm8kp]

Best to disconnect the gear cable to adjust the high limit, so you know it’s resting on the limit screw and it’s not cable tension holding it there.

[@izakdevilliers3552]

Yes and know, after rebuilding my ENTIRE bike I've learned those little screws can look perfect while configuring but cycling around the block changes your perspective...

[@dadlife8289]

Nice video! I enjoyed the lighting and camera movements. Not super instructional, but visually pleasing!

[@MajorBorris]

I didn't like the camera work, couldn't tell how smooth it was shifting which defeats the whole point.

[@muhammadirfanhadi8279]

It looks easy but when you do it you feel like you want to die but you don't even die🤣

[@sma4827]

practice! after adjusting them for years it's a walk in the park for me but it was a hefty learning curve for sure. and if you still can't get it bang on then it's pretty likely that your hanger or derailleur cage is bent :(

[@DefaultName-ms2bb]

​@@sma4827 right between the eyes with this one, i literally spent a week trying to tune my newly bought bike, and after everything, i had looked and the guy literally bent the deraileur, worked fine since then

[@Dennis4523]

It’s very easy, once you get the hang of it and understand where to look. You can easily index any bike within 2-3 min

[@d1r3wolf8]

You just do it enough so that you can pedal safely to the nearest bike shop 🤣

Good idea. I should have done this before spending money on a bike stand. But it did make it easy to work on.

[@josejn2007]

@@1188clean You don´t need to spend money on a bike stand unless you are a mechanic who makes an intensive use of it. You can just do it with a rope attached to the roof.

Your gears are so easy to shift. My thumbs got sore after just 30 mins of riding and shifting. Is there any fix for hard shifting. It takes the whole force of my hand just to switch into the final gear.

[@IdiParavai2604]

You mean the 1st gear or the smaller one?

Cuando gira la ruedillaal final, para que es?

[@AleHorry]

Puedes ajustar la tensión del cable de cambio con esa "ruedilla", dentro de un margen, 1 cm aprox. Lo ideal es que cuando montes la transmisión e instales el cable, dejes esa tuerca a media rosca para que tengas un poco de juego a la hora de aflojar o tensar el cable y dejarlo perfecto. Debes tirar de la tuerca hacia fuera para que enganche el mecanismo y puedas ajustarlo.
