A Front derailer can be incredibly finicky at times. Getting them set up correctly can seem like voodoo to some. In reality though, it's about taking it one step at a time, and paying attention to the minute details. Do you know any other tricks?

This is your How-To guide for setting up front derailleurs. We cover the basics for cable-driven systems, including a troubleshooting section for odd problems.

Sometimes while on the road, you've got to take a stance that may be unpopular with drivers in order to keep yourself safe. I've actually said to drivers "I'd rather you be pi**ed off, than me be dead." Here is an article about one of those instances. Be safe out there.

I see a lot of slightly bent derailluer hangers come thru my work bench. An off hanger can cause some of the most infuriating shifting issues. Often times you don't think to take a step back and look at it from the back. While this video is about getting off the trail after bending one, the tips are valid for if the bike falls over in the garage. DON'T WANT TO DO IT YOURSELF? GIVE IT TO ME! I've got a derailleur alignment guage and can fix it, along with many of your other issues.
