Full rebuild - Shimano Ultegra RD-6700 road rear derailleur. How to service rear mech.

Finally I start with the tutorials for my "Free Bike Workshop School". This is one of the "Full rebuild" additional videos, where I take apart all bicycle parts, so that ANYONE in the world will be able to fix the smallest details on their bikes! Remember - by fixing bikes you are a 1000 times more eco, that a 1000 hybrid cars ;)

This is so damn easy. I followed the steps and now I have a bag of parts instead of a derailleur!

I'm a mechanic, but i don't usually make maintenance on this kind of derailleur, the first i did was a Tourney TY-300, thanks to the awesome content! :)

[christopherjcombrink]

Thanks to your help I was able to service my unit and install my aftermarket hanger (converting it to a long-cage)! Thanks from down in South Africa!

I have an RD-6700 that was totally frozen up. I was able to get everything back to specs and freed up except the B-Axle bolt and tensioner spring. After watching your video, I was able to and remount on the frame. It is as limber as my other two bikes with Shimano RD's. THANKS for your video, it saved me probably $30 in labor by doing it myself. Have a great day!!!

What an amazing and detailed overhaul of the derailleur❤❤

Really appreciate your effort and detailed explanation in this video👍👍

I love the fact that you show and explain each stage very clearly. Thanks.

Gute Arbeit mein Freund. A good result is celebrated best with some German commentary.
Another great video for the library. To be taken from the shelf when the time of maintenance comes.

Wow, great video. I now want to put all my bits apart and rebuild them, even the new ones :D

Very useful and well made video, that explains the directional aspects of the smallest components. Superb piece of work.

Am Ende noch ein wenig Deutsch. Sehr schön. Nice Video. Thanks for that

I won't have to do this if I don't ride in the mud and rain. Good video convinced me to clean my drivetrain more often.

[charnestours]

I would say the potential for having problems with the reassembly is a solid 5 out of 10.

man i struggled a few wks back, ... if only you released this last month...

[ferdoushasan]

Well explained and smooth presentation-Everything perfect! Thanks a lot! ❤

[lukehaddix]

That was a fantastic video. I have one just like that, and I'm about to clean it up. The guy at the bike shop told me they don't come apart. Hmm, we'll see about that. :)

Awesome! Precise work. A kind of meditation.

[charliedevine]

I have 2 of these in my parts bin, both in good condition: a short cage and a medium cage. I use a long cage Deore.

Great tutorial ... many thanks SickBiker 👍
