Speeddemon Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Hi all Can anybody give me advise on how to fine-tune my shifting. I ride shimano XT front and LX rear.
Delgado Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Fine tuning the barrel adjuster per gear I believe is the way.......
Aquatic Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Dont touch hi low screws if the its not touching spokes or rubbing the front der. Use the barrel adjusters,.And lube the cables ,it helps

AndreZA Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Fine tuning the barrel adjuster per gear I believe is the way....... but you have 2 of them. One on the derailleur for big adjustments and one on the shifters for small on the fly adjustments.
BrendonMyb Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 funny same thing ran through my mind naaaaaasty looking cassetter there 3in1 oil ouch
GoLefty!! Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 you fine tune your shifting like this: Walk up to your bike and hold the back of the bike up. Then Look at the derailluer and repeat after me: "Hey jy my Derialluer hows iot my bru. You working befok today jong" Replace rear of bike on the ground and go ride. Surprisingly it will work.

scotty Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 You dont state whether its front or rear that needs adjustment, the method differs, I find adjusting the front a real pain.
