Instructor will present an overview of the mechanics of a derailleur; proper installation onto the frame; initial cable installation; how to use limiting adjuster screws and barrel adjusters.

A discussion of troubleshooting shifting issues involving alignment, cables, housing, and chains is included.

Time will be allowed for participants to do adjustments on their own bike or a donation bike.

Although shifters are intimately related to derailleurs we will not be focused on troubleshooting shifter specific problems.

Participants should bring a phone or tablet to view live webcam demonstrations
