Maybe I'll hook it up to a space heater and see that it actually yaknow trips. or just take it apart.
oooooooooof rear derailleur exploded
LUL
ah who needs one anyways XD
i replaced the rear shift cable and now the RD won't move any more
it's officially out of my league, hoping a shop can tell me whats wrong
just speaking of RD's exploding
it was frustrating since i was essentially doing a tune of the entire bike
when u replaced it did u lube it
?
also
how wont it move? as in u shift but it doesnt shift? or u cant even use the shifter?
limit is set correctly
bike was shifting slowly before replacement
now the shifter doesn't click at all
new cable is in
i shortened the housing slightly cause i noticed it was too long
cable has tension
can u move the derailer manually?
RD is mostly aligned
does it feel sticky?
yeah i can that's how i know that the limit is set correct
hmm
not sticky at all
if u pull on the cable directly does it shift?
it was shifting before, just slow
it'll move. but i'm not about to yank on internal cables
i mean take it out of the shifter
and pull with normal amount of pressure
see if it moves
if it does, its ur shifter
the derailleur is fine
if it isnt then the cables hanging on something
yes
i know
thats why im saying pull on the cable manually, itll tell u if its the cable or tubes, or the shifter itself
maybe. i'll check it later cause i'm tired
when i swapped my cables they shifted better after i use some oil inside the channels
been working all week no days off
yeah i did that too
try the manual cable pull when u get the chance
but it's all internal routed so i don't want to mess with pulling out cables right now
from the shifter
open the shifter and remove the cable from that end and pull and test
well yeah i'd have to push it through
that's what i'm saying is that i don't have cable to do that
hows the cable attached to ur shifter?
detach from derailer to get some slack, open shifter, disconnect cable and pull it out, then reattach at the derailer and pull on the now freed end
like that
yeah i can do that. it's just an asspain cause of the way its routed
remove from derailer, remove derailure tube, use slack to remove front shifter
i frayed the last shift cable doing that
and had to bin it
...ok. pulling on the cable moves the RD
cool. guess i have to buy a new R8020 shifter
dats sucky
nah. just expensive
silly roadie, just get a trigger shifter XD
jk
wouldn't make it any less expensive.
not when you have hydraulic brakes.
well actually i guess it would but w/e
sure sucks to suck
i currently have hybrid brakes
hydros that are cable actuated
all the hydro part is in the caliper
so its a drop in upgrade
i really hope its not a shifter
O O O O OF
replaced a cable and it broke the shifter. i really hope that wasn't what happened
ebikes kind of need the hydro brakes
ya
thats why i upgraded to the semihydros
but i dont go fast enough to invest in afull hydro
new bike thoyu
ohhhh boy
that bitch needs massive hydro
@EPHIIOS lol ever bike iv bought used iv replaced all the cables and the bike felt new
they get so gummy after awhile
yep new cables are nice
its like new jammies
all fixed + new chain
so i goofed when i put in the new cable and never noticed
the mechanic showed me
Was that why it brokeded?
yeah
it's a reminder not to do bike tuneups at 10 pm when ultra tired
that's a good reminder
I do mine at 3 am when ultra tired
yep, then i go up to the bike the next day and wonder if someone tried to prank me by messing with my bike
dirtyboye
The one day where the weather is nice and I'm free of schoolwork, my freewheel decides, "yep, gonna grenade on ya"
It just spins freely now lol
XD
Think it's time for new tires fam lol
Yeahhhh.....
They're slicks now :D
Oh hey
someone else runs the schwinn ammo box set up
Lol
