AndreZA Posted March 3, 2011 Share agg I loosend the cable to much and the derailleur popped back,now I cant seem to get the derailleur or the cable back right...agg I am in flipping IT networking,What the hell am I doing!?!? What have I done wrong now? I now feel like I should of just left it All you do is pull it with your hand (a little up and out) and then the screw will screw in easier.

I-FELT-the-FORCE Posted March 3, 2011 Share You should never have loosened the cable at the derailleur. If you dont loosen the cable at the derailer, you are putting added pressure on the thread whilst it is still under load from the cable, the more that this is done, the faster the thread on the screw (or derailer itself) is going to strip.

I-FELT-the-FORCE Posted March 3, 2011 Share Ok. Just saying . Found this out by trial and error myself, after stripping the inner thread on my Ultegra FD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardtailrider Posted March 3, 2011 Share Another possibility is that your front derailleur has been bumped out of alignment. Check that it's running parallel with the chain front to rear; if it's skew, it'll scrape against the chain either in high or low, depending on which way it's gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwin Watson Posted March 3, 2011 Share Guys chill,I fixed it.I just had to pull the derailleur forward and tighten, but now it wont shift into the big cog(because the cable is too lose,which I can fix) If I cant and have problems I will just take it to my LBS and they can LOL and sought it out. However with all the info in this thread I am sure I will be fine at least I can shift into the first 2 gear's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
