9 year old video? Might as well be 9 days! GREAT job!! Exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks so much! I actually managed to replace my rusty 36T small chainring to a lightweight 34T aluminium chainring! With my Allen keys! Hooray for free 70g weight reduction & I'm now finally at 1.06 ratio for my climbing gears! 😊😊

lifesaver fella, thank you very much.

Thanks for the information. I was surprised it worked. 😂

I bought this product as part of a changeover from a 1x drivetrain three months ago. Coming from a 1x system, my emotional tolerance for dropping chains is nill, hence my interest in a two-sided chain catcher. I must say how impressed I am with the design/engineering of this thing. Having ability to adjust each guide separately of the other is excellent. Having two screws for each guide is even better because it enables tilt by loosening the outside screw while leaving the inner one semi-tight. Well done. Lots of thought clearly went into this.

Does this also apply to electronic shifting like DI2?

I like to do new chainrings, new rear cassette, new chain, clean and lube the derails very well, and then I am ready to roll on with confidence on my nice, new drive train.

For anyone reading this. He says back off a couple links for full suspension because because you length from the bottom bracket to the axle will change, become larger through the travel. You can air down your suspension and use a tape measure to tell.

No issues with assembly for me th-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L but I could see where some might benefit from using an experienced bike assembler/mechanic. I'm an older rider starting back after a 10 year break. This bike exceeds my capabilities and has been easy to get comfortable riding. I'm mostly on easy trails with almost no street riding and have not been disappointed with the performance of the bike. My fitness level is far below what I previously rode with and because of that the mileage is going on the bike slowly. While I'm losing weight slowly, the bike seems to tolerate my 220 pounds just fine. The bike has been used by several family members ranging from 5'5" - 5'9".

Good video but you failed to mention one thing which is what if the new chain is too short like it is on 9 cog bikes or 27 speeds. You need to buy 2 chains and put them together with pins or quick links to make one chain. All chains sold are too short to go around most if not all 27 speed bikes. You get one chain for the price of two since the new chain is about 6 inches too short.

eh I shouldn't of watched this video. I am thinking I might of installed the inner chain ring wrong . could I email you all some pictures of how I have it to make sure I did it right? I had the the 5 bolt hidden ring but I am not really having any issues with shifting but I just want to make sure I have it correct

Bullseye!

If you learned something from this video, you might be a moron. This is pedantic rubbish.

why dont use old chain to measure

👍yours video ruining bike shop business. today i went in bike shop with same question, they said it gonna be $150, to replace a crank chainring.

thank you. about to buy a set of rings from the site and was wondering if I had to take the crank off.

This video was very instrumental in directing me On the proper way to renove and install a bike derailleur. Thank you for your help, advice and a physical description of the job I give your video A 10 hands down

Thank you for this video, i was able to clean the chain rings making them look like new again

Nice but there is an easier method and you don't have to fight the derailleur

sir, what do you call that small piece to replace the space for the big ring? thank you.

Good video, like the bumper music.I was wondering would it be practical to use a 2x crankset to upgrade a 3spd rear to a six-speed for a bit more range?

whats the size of those chainring spacers?

Great explanation

Nice video, thanks :)

Chameleon; it's tail Zainab's says like croissant bun.

I know this is an old video but, thanks man! I have a 1999 Specialized FSR Sport that I am changing the middle chainring due to missing teeth. The 42T and 22T were in great shape and so, was the cassette. The 32T middle chainring seems to be the weak link on these bikes. I have talked to other owners that have done the same to get a little more life out of the drivetrain before upgrading. Great job on the video it will save me a lot of time!!

This is the best method! You will really get to see how your derailler will angle out.

If you’re just replacing your chain without changing the gears, you can just cut your new chain to the length of the old chain side by side. Many times, when people measure how much chains they need to cut, they could cut too much and it behaves differently to the old setup.

Great video. Brief & to the point. Thx for getting right to the point & not wasting over half the video explaining stupid stuff like removing pedals, changing the crankset (not the subject of the video) and, well, I could go on & on. Your video accurately describes the issue in the title & then proceeds to actually explain everything you need to know between the 1 minute & 5 minute marks. Why can't all how to videos do that without getting lost in the weeds? For example, if someone can't even figure out how to remove pedals, they've got no business messing with the chainring & front derailleur.

Everthing wears eventually... A rebuild is always good...

A big thumbs up...

just another thank you for posting this. much easier than removing the hole set.

it is standard 2 have hex head bolts? or is it valid for 5K+ bikes only? b-cuz on mine it's more like rivets and can't b removed w/crank arm removed 1st.

👏💪👍

Thank you so much. I have a similar set up, and this video was very helpful.

Awful demo

Mayzure

sir can i have a question ? will it work when you only remove smallest plate ? and dont change chainring?

it does matter how you install the master link, that is why they have a direction arrow...

It's very easy, however, it couldn't look more complicated than that.

You can only do this with certain cranks. My cranks dont have the 64mm spaced holed drilled and tapped into the crankarm. I only have the 104mm spaced holes.

Great Info, thanks for making the video!

Why would you want to do this? What’s wrong with a 3x crank

Does the Fd still 3x?Or Replace by 2x?

Thank you, helped me replace my derailleur thanks to your video. However left my deraileur/chain a little slacker. I would have liked to see a clearer view of how you fixed the master chain link.I will add one in due course.

Can you do this with only te litle one?

do not clean the factory lube off of a chain.
