One Derailleur Adjustment You Wish You Knew Before #cycling #roadcycling

Tired of sluggish, jumpy gear shifts on your bike? 🚲 I got the fix you’ve been looking for! 🔧

Meet the B-screw, your secret weapon to supercharge your derailleur shifting! It’s all about fine-tuning the height, and trust me, it makes a world of difference✨

Watch closely as I bridge the gap between my cassette and derailleur for smoother, faster, and more precise gear changes. 🔄💥

Ready to level up your ride? 📈 Follow these simple steps:
1️⃣ Start on the smaller chainring.
2️⃣ Shift onto the biggest cog.
3️⃣ Grab a 2mm Allen key and adjust that B-screw.

You’ll notice your derailleur cozying up to the cassette, just as it should! 🧐✅ But remember, we want to avoid any pulley-cassette contact at the top by about half a centimeter. Perfect!

Now, get back on the saddle and feel the magic happen! Your shifting will be smoother, faster, and more efficient than ever before. 🌟💨

I swap between 2 wheelsets, one for more climbing(36t cassette) and one for general road riding(30t cassette). I usually dont touch my b screw, because the wheels are both DTSwiss hubs, same rotors, all but the cassette. The gap on the 30t isnt that bad as the one in the video, my shifting works well, and so i just dont touch it.

Thanks for the great info man! Stay safe!

That won't necessarily work for super wide-range cassettes. On those, you have to shift to the second cog and make sure the jockey pulley is barely clears the first.

Actually, that 2mm hex key could be used to set the distance between the cog and chain.

I got a new bike and i wasted 1 hour on limit screws and cable length trying to adjust the rear derailleur wondering why it doesn't shift properly with them perfectly set, till i realised the problem was at the b screw😂

Bro my chain has 20cm up down play and from my 21 gear shifter like 3 gears work😂

[j.k.b]

probably the people who buy electronic groupsets and dont no anything about actual mechanics on their bikes and how to fix it

[LaurentiusTriarius]

Man ask your boss for a raise, you need shoes 😂

[zombicreature]

Just fucking write B screw in the fucking title so we don't waste time

[AngeloDeiparine]

if your derailleur still jumps on higher gear you might need to Shorten the chain only if your chain is long

My wife has been complaining about slow changes, might give this a look

[jean-paullanglois]

Enfin quelque chose de valable sur tik tok !!!😊

[nochancecw]

This is not true, no one actually knows what that B screw does. 😂.

But bikes don't shift gears to be able to accelerate, torque and the speed you demand are suitable for single gears, unless gradient change which still you change once.
I see the importance for servicing but I dont see the need on a bike to "shift fast" since its not a car which leverages high ratio gears for off the line acceleration.

Someone who doesn't know this, is just someone who doesn't know what a bike spells like.

[esotericist]

good explanation. thanks. i'v e just tweaked my Ultegra (on my pinarello !

[veganpotterthevegan]

Shifting the front derailleur doesn't change the location of the upper pulley
