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! :)

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 disassemble/clean/grease/reassemble 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!!!

I love the little grease brushh

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

What an amazing and detailed overhaul of the derailleur❤❤ Really appreciate your effort and detailed explanation in this video👍👍

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

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.

Nice rainy-day project!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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. :)

My mech said there is no tension adjustment knob for the derailleur.

Gratulacje. Again, a superb video.

more interested in learning how to remove the pin that hold the derailleur together. its a one way, not supposed to be disassembled. but...why not?

Great tutorial ... many thanks SickBiker 👍

Looks easy but do not attempt to do it at home unless you're retired, very rich, never get mad easily...

Great video!

I usually oiling all hinges also after soaking the whole mech in cleaning solution

Very, Very, Very good!!!!!!

Gracias muy bueno el video aprendi cosasque no sabia

Pls do Alivio M4000 or Deore M592?! Thank you!

Big help. Thx

Great close-up video! How do you keep all those components organized for rebuild?!?

Sir can you use deore 5100 rear derailleur to a deore 12 speed cassette?

hi are the tension spring and bolt from the cage is same as the rear derailluer 6800

Very nice!

Awesome!

On jockey wheels, do you always use thick oil ? Or it depends on the bearing type ? I've been using grease lately and I wonder if it's wrong. Thanks !!!

don't use grease for jockey wheels; use a bit of light oil wiped on the bushings.

HellO! I had a question! For the spring in the derailleur, what happens if you insert the spring into the second plate hole, and not the first? My shifting for my ultegra 6700 isnt very good. it is from a 2010 bike that did have many miles. I was wondering if the spring is just old and doesnt have tension so I was thinking of engaging the spring in the second plate hole to have it under more tension or, alternatively, I replace the spring.

@@carlosaguirre9643 I have not dissembled it yet. I realized the deraileur has trouble shifting one way but not the other way.

Would buying older used 10 speed Ultegra derailleurs like this be a better option than a new Tiagra 10 speed derailleur if I'm willing to do a similar type of restoration? While I'm not really concerned about weight, I would prefer to have the older Ultegra or Dura Ace piece if it works better despite being older. There seem to be a lot of high-end used 9 and 10 speed parts around in his shape (you know, because they were expensive lol).

Might be that the main pivot spring is dirsty and gunked up. You could try taking off the cage, cleaning and re-greading it the same way as was done in the video. Hope that helps!

At 13.40 you've put the pulley gasket seals in back to front. Flat side of seal faces outwards, lipped side faces inwards. Check Shimano Docs.

@@admiralarmchairfleet8403- I think you’re wrong. If you notice when he disassembled it, the groove open area goes on the facing outward. That’s so that the washer which is cupped fits inside of the gasket seals. I looked at the technical drawing as you mentioned, and it’s hard to tell the direction from those drawings. I disassembled mine for the first time and the flat side was definitely on the inside, allowing the washer lip to fit inside of the gasket seal like I described. This is an awesome video. Thank you very much for posting it.

is there a way to change the shifting ratio of a 11speed rd to work with 10 speed cassette?

@Gractus

Жыл бұрын

Derailleurs don't really have "speeds" since they're not indexed, they just move as far as the cable is pulled. The shifter is the thing that determines if it's a 9, 10, 11, etc speed since it's the part that determines exactly how far the cable is pulled for every gear. As long as it's still a Shimano shifter with a Shimano RD (excluding Tiagra 4700 shifters which are apparently their own special thing) it should work fine. But if you've got 11 speed shifters then there isn't really any way to make that work with a 10 speed cassette.

@velvetbikes

The shifting ratio is determined by the shifter, not the derailler.

Everything was awesome until you used that cheap 'knock off' threadlocker! Loctite ( just like Shimano, who invented indexed shifting) invented the threadlocker. Given that you use a fair amount of grease on your re-assembly, Loctite thread lockers today are better formulated to resist oil on threads and cure properly vs knock off brands. A 'blue' coloured threadlocker is probably overkill for that bolt. (aka Loctite 243 or 242). So Loctite 222 (Europe) or 222MS (North America) is what I use. It's got a purple color and roughly half the removable strength of 243. Thanks again for the video. It will definitely come in handy.
