My Shimano 2 trigger style has larger thumb triggers than pointer finger triggers. I wish I could reduce the deadzone freeplay in the thumb trigger. Is this possible? Bike is a 27.5 Diamondback Expresso in Canada. Shifter appears to be shimano ST-EF500-4 which says on it "v-brake" but the bike is discs.

It's complicated than I thought 😅

Found the rear derailleur was crooked and fixed the angle of the hanger, then proceeded to align. This video gave me all info I needed to understand my system. Thank you so much!

Not very helpful when they’re jumping to different kind of bike every section. Where is Calvin Jones? This man does it better than anyone.

Love Park Tool!

This helped quite a bit. Just wish we could get a zoom out to make sure things are in the right direction. Thanks!

Paid too much money to “professional” bike mechanics with no fix to my bike. Watched a couple of these park tool videos and my bike feels like a million bucks. I now have the tools for my self and the knowledge from this amazing instructor! Thank you! This guy deserves everything 💪💪

Cool sparks

Calvin, my front derailleur moves in slowly over time. Is my wire too tight?

VERY well made WILL save and share.!!!

Does it fit on Campagnolo Ekar pro-tech BB T-47?

i need some skills too 😂

Needed this just to make sure it was right hand threaded. The free wheel was seized on with rust, a bash with a hammer got it unstuck.

I’d much rather listen to the guys who know Park tool) than so many other sources out there.

Thanks for the tour! The Park Tool how-to videos are invaluable; much appreciated!

Thanks you guys, i had the annoying front wheel sound but it's solved basec on this video, thanks a lot! ;)

very good

this dude looks like zappa! 🙌

Thanks for the tour. You guys make the best cycling tools!

An expesive wheel has tight spokes. A cheap wheel has not so tight spokes. That is why an expensive wheel has a long life. And the opposite with a cheap wheel. Conclusion: It is NOT the pretension of the spoke that will cause a spoke to fracture. It is the LACK of pretension that will cause a spoke to fracture. = fatique fracture. I am a machine engineer, and this lesson is a part of my study. When you design bolted connections you must verify that the bolts will NEVER break. Where is this critical ? A prime example is the bolted connection of the big bearing of a connecting rod in an ice engine. Those bolts are able to last the lifetime of an engine, without ever breaking.

IF BOTH DERAILER ARE NOT WORKING RIGHT, HOW TO CHANGE GEARS FOR REAR OR FRONT DERAILER. EXAMPLE, HE ASK THAT YOU CHANGE GEARS ON BACK DERAILER TO THE LOWEST SETTING WHILE ADJUSTING FRONT DERAILER, HOW THE HELL TO DO THAT WHEN ITS NOT ADJUSTED RIGHT. SO YOULL GO BACK AND FORTH WITH DERAILER TRYING TO ADJUST . MAKE IE MAKE SINCE OLD MAN, DAM!!~!

IF ANYONE GOT IT. MAKE A VID EXPLAINING, BETTER THAN THIS OLD FART

this has not helped. no mention of tightest on the cable when install. which derailer do you start with, both need adjusting. so start with front, but rear isnt adjust, how do yiu which geARS FOR EITHER WHEN ASKED TO IN THIS OLD MISS INFOEMED VID. OK, SO WORKING ON FRONT, BUT i HAVE TO WHICH GEARS ON BACK TO ADJUST FRONT, HUH!!!! THDE BACK DERAILER IS NOT ADJUST. SO WHAT NOW, BULLSHIT!!!!!

What do you do if the drive side crank won't come off? The spindle won't move at all.

Thank you for this video!

YOU SAID SHIFT THE REAR TO THE LAST POSITION WHILE ADJUSTING THE FRONT, BUT THE REAR NEEDS ADJUSTING. NOW WHAT!?

WHICH ONE YOU START FIRST, THE REAR DERAILER OR THE FRONT??? BOTH NEED ATTENTION AND NOTHING IS SHIFTING CORRECTLY

I literally follow this EXACT steps, and the right side (crank side) brake lever is ALWAYS too tight. The centering thing does not work at all for me. It literally does nothing. The left side can be loose, it will still be too tight on the drive side. If I tighten the centering screws, it moves barely a mm. I've tried multiple different cable length and still no cigar.

HOW TIGHT SHOULD THE FRONT DERAILER WIRE SHOULD BE BEFORE YOU START ANYTHING???

BEFOR YOU SET THE LIMIT SCREWS. HOW TIGHT SHOULD THE CABLE BE???

a vid thats needed, but better explanation needed. lots of questions. once you get the wire threaded. HOW TIGHT SHOULD IT BE BEFORE YOU ADJUST THE BARREL???

when you place the wire. how much tension before you adjust the barrel. i just put in a wire. now howe tight before I start adjusting everything???

thank you, the old man working there never mentions this

Holy shit that "music" is horrendous. That's give us all a headache for a least a week.

God love ya, Park Tool

so tightening the L screw brings the cage away from the bike whereas tightening the H screw brings it towards the bike? Is that correct?

And you didn't even get into the wide tolerance values of different torque wrenches. Good video.

Forget Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.... This is Calvin and the Park Tool Factory!! Love it guys!! Well done from the UK.

Agreed. Torque doesn't equal tension necessarily. Usually I get it right, but my cassette lockring did work loose. I have modified my freehub body and gotten mixed brand cassette cogs and ratios together. I honed the freehub and lockring and used less Torque than usual applying locktite to compensate. 9 speeds on an 126m dropout frame without cold setting 10 speed cogs used. Well, it looks vintage, if you didn't count the cogs and realize that Nuevo Record 1973 derailleur never could Index! It looks real! When you modify parts you're going to have fun. I backyard engineered it into a success in the end.

misspelled performance sign at 7:47

Looking at doing this to my one Bridgestone. Have the adapter coming. Know the handlebars I’m getting. Just haven’t figured out the stem leangth and angle yet.

We could also remove the caliper instead of the wheel That what I did

this still work on 12 speed shimano?

I have a Raleigh Technium from early 80s (I bought new and put over 100,000 miles on)I still love to ride. Some times its more fun than my full carbon $8000 dollar Specialized.

How are you supposed to do the last step with a caliper that has a bleed port but no bleed nipple 7:54? Since it takes a threaded fitting and doesn't have the ability to open and close quickly, there's no way to pressurize the hose?

I’m sorry, but you can’t check torque with a Torque wrench that way. Restart torque throws off the value. Friction is about 90% of the torque being applied. Your point on tension is dead on though. HOWEVER, Your instincts on how tight something feels is dead wrong. The most skilled technicians can’t accurately apply torque many studies have been done on this.

Usa tools is cool, keep it going!❤

Is it made in yhe US or china?

ha I know those guys! I was looking for automotive stuffs lol, been watching alot cyclinng for the algotrythm

Why does this video give a complete difference to SHIMANO guide SHIMANO says. 4 -5 while you only do 2
