The colored cogs and limiter info very good. The section that helped me a lot was taking off the cable and moving the derailleur by hand. That made understand more so I could isolate my issue. Thank you.

    This proves again that just because you know what you are doing, you arent necessarily good at communicating that knowledge. I've tried fixing my gearbox thingy for the past 2 days and every "explainer" video I watched somehow made it worse and left me more insecure about what to do or how to do it. this was the first and only video in the astonishing sea of videos on this topic that left me fully informed and finally able to fix my bike. Thanks. The closeup shots and graphical elements where especially useful to me in finally understanding what each screw does and how to adjust them properly.
