Backcountry Bike Repair Series - Episode 5
Are you intimidated by making adjustments to a stubborn drivetrain to fix clunky shifting? The whole derailleur-shifter system looks complicated, but most shifting issues are usually easy to fix with a basic understanding of how everything works together. Don’t go straight to turning those little limit screws or the b-screw (we’ll talk about those on Episode 6)! Instead, start with cable tension adjustments. In this episode, we walk through how the derailleur, shifter, and cable work together and how to fix the most common cause of fussy shifting.
