Shimano Nexus 3 Speed Adjustment | Internal-Gear Hub Bike Shifter Adjustment
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I show you how you can adjust the Shimano Nexus 3 speed Internal-Gear Hub Bike Shifter easily. The problem on this bike was that it was jumping gears and going to the third gear although the shifter was set to second gear.
Steps for adjusting:
1) Set the shifter to the middle gear (second gear)
2) open the lug nut on the shifter with a 10mm key
3) turn the barrel roller (turn with pliers if tight)
4) adjust until you have the yellow dot between the white lines
5) close the lug nut again - DONE
If you have trouble getting the yellow line into position perhaps the shifter unit is out of place like in my case so I also show you how you can take the shifter unit off and position it correctly.

Thank you, this was perfectly explained. I’m an old BMX guy so anything but single speed gearing is foreign to me. 👍🏼

Thank you, you made it so easy to understand how to adjust the gearing. I have an issue with my new bike which should have been sorted out by the bicycle shop. After watching this video, I will do it myself. Keep those videos coming and take care.

Your video is the best to show every detail of the process on how to fix the problem. It's much better than the one recommended by the technical support of the bike vendor I bought from. Thank you very much.

Just assembled 2 bikes from a vendor in NY. Both shifters were out of adjustment. This video was spot on and resolved my issues. Seems the vendor would check this prior to shipment. Oh well. You are a great help. Thanks

Thanks!!! 😁I was able to fix my jammed up 3 speed myself...which saved me time (taking it ti bike shop) and $$$. This is the best video because it is the only one I saw that mentioned removing the whole shifter, which is what mine needed. Mine got messed up when front handlebars got turned all the way around after transport - it pulled the whole cable too tight all the way to the end.

Great to hear that. It's always so rewarding when one can solve something like this by one self.
Thank you so much! I just bought a new bike online & was so disappointed that the shifter clearly wasn't working. Since I'd never seen a shifter like this (& neither had a friend I asked to help me), I was worried getting the problem solved would be difficult. Your video makes me feel like I can probably do this myself 😁

I have a Marin bike that uses this Shimano gear. A while ago, the tire went flat and had to be replaced. Since then, the gears would jump between speeds. I brought the bike to a store today and so far it seems to be okay now. If I have this problem again, I will try to adjust it myself. Thanks for this informative video!

You got a great video here. I just bought a bicycle that has a Nexus that looks similar to the one in your video but with the same adjustments. Mine shifts through all the gears but second and third gear is a bit noisier. First gear is really quiet. So I think it just needs a slight adjustment. Great job!

Thanks bruv this is a confusing adjustment to make and you covered everything. Shimano specs says it isn't waterproof! Explains why mine is now seized after riding it in -20c through salty slush for 5 years. Sometimes it would freeze solid too because it got moisture in it. Surprised it didn't die sooner

How would you replace the cable?
Do you guys usually put grease on your chains?
Super clear video. Thank you. In my case for some reason I can not even shift. Just bought bike with Shimano Nexus and shifter is stuck on gear 1 (shifter on the handle bar) and i can't turn the rubber wheel. I don't want to brake it so I don't turn with all the force but it doesn't seem to work. Can you help?

Sorry not familiar with that issue
I can’t get the yellow indicator to move unless I shift it at the handle. When it’s first gear it sits perfectly in the middle like it should when it’s in second gear. The yellow indicator is too far in, but I can’t get it to move. Is it okay to oil inside the box? Thanks, a subscriber

Hi I have a little question for you: the bell crank (this grey thing you are showing in your video) of my Nexus 3 is cracked. If I buy a new one, do you think I can replace it without changing any other part of the shifter? I not good with repairing stuff but I think if i only have to replace that grey thing, it shouldn't be so difficult.
@Homeneer
3 жыл бұрын
Hi, sorry I'm not familiar repairing that part. The grey thing I call a spring in the video should be easy enough to change if you can find the part somewhere. So I would recommend trying it if the part isn't expensive. Still wondering is something stuck on the other side if that part in between cracked.

I brought my bike at the bike shop tho change my rear tyre and one week later the shifter just srpung out of my bike.That part is a little bit cracked so it can't be fixed on the bike again. I have to buy a new unit, what a shame. Anyway thanks for the info!

Oh okay. I think those are sold for around 15eur as a package including the shifter on the handlebar. Most likely you can just change the "shifter unit" and use the old wire and shifter. I would expect it to be a quite easy DIY fix.
Thought it had to be in 1st gear not 2nd gear for the alignment... Ty! :)

Sorry I don't know. If they sell them for that model then yes. Otherwise wouldn't mess with it because shifters are often very precise about the cable pull amount.
