    In Praise of Derailleur Hangers from 925engineering

    I would like to sing the praises of Alex and Michelle at 925engineering I ordered two of the same derailleur hangers from them and they arrived within the week, all the way from California. The quality of the machining of these hangers is excellent. They are CNC machined (by Alex himself, I...

    The Abbey HAG derailleur alignment tool

    Is it really that good or is it just the new cool thing to use? A 'work of Art' meets functionality and all that c**p. Is it really the Campagnolo Super Record of bicycle maintenance tools? It should be for the price. Abbey Bike Tools HAG

    Shimano Medium Cage Derailleur Capacity

    What's the absolute maximum size cassette I can use with a Shimano medium cage gs derailleur? I do know that with the short cage the maximum spec is a 28t cassette but in reality it will work fine with a 32. The max your supposed to use with a medium cage is a 32t so will it too take an extra 4...

    Click / Clunk noise: new wheels, dérailleur and chain

    After a mechanical issue a month back, I replaced my wheels (Fulcrum 5), dérailleur (105), hanger and chain. I am about 200 miles into this new setup. Every now and then when in a high gear / riding fast, or if I pull away in too high a gear, I'll hear a click or clunking noise from the rear...

    Derailleur woes

    Bought this bike a few weeks ago (from a bit of a chancer i think....) with a very close ratio freewheel which would only work on four out of the five gears. I swapped the wheel over today with a conventional 14/24? 5 speed wheel... I can now get all 5 gears but its all very noisy & rough..it...

    Dérailleur and Chain broken

    Set off on a journey today and within 7-8 miles my chain started slipping badly, there was no warning, it wasn't gradual, it just started happening. I unscrewed* the barrel adjuster a bit and tried all the gears at the side of the road bit but it didn't improve (nor get worse) while actual...

    Front derailleur headache

    Hi! I have a hybrid with a triple 48-38-28 crankset, 8 speed . This bicycle was working perfectly well and also well maintained. Suddenly the shifting of the front derailleur has gone bad. That is, it does not shift smoothly from the middle chain ring to the largest, there is a lot of noise and...

    Front derailleur choice

    My Raleigh Airlite 100 has had its front derailleur replaced by a previous owner. The front derailleur is controlled by a paddle that has two settings Hi & Lo, but the derailleur currently in place seems made for three rings... so having now changed one of the chainrings things have started to...

    Giant Defy2 derailleur attachment - help please

    I've boxed up a bike to send to Spain and noticed the rear derailleur is only attached to the frame with one small screw right in the middle, then it relys on the wheel/frame/skewer bolting everything tight. There is what looks like another space for a screw towards the back but there is nothing...

    Front Derailleur problems, chain coming off.

    Not sure if I am missing something, but i cant seem to get the Front Derailleur shifting properly. I'm running a ten speed compact 105.

    Front dérailleur adjustments

    Help please. I had difficulty in shifting in to the bigger rings. It reluctantly went in to the second but would not move to the biggest ring. I played with H and L limit screws but it wont solve the problem. My understanding is that the problem is the cable tension. So I loosen the cable...

    Rear derailleur adjustment again

    My rear derailleur was being slow at changing down so I stupidly decided to "adjust" it.... Now it's far worse than when I started. So the current situation is the rear barrel adjuster doesn't turn so I was using the one on the handlebars. If I start in the highest rear gear it doesn't change...
