You are welcome, Matthew. We are starting to have some nice weather for riding in the northeastern U.S. It's been great to get out there and enjoy it. I hope you are doing the same.
Thanks....probably the only video explained how to identify guide or tension pulleys if they have nothing written on them; i.e. be able to move it side-by-side by pushing with two fingers. The one that moves must be the guide pulley.
@@Know-How-Now Thanks so much for this. I was struggling till I viewed your video. I dismantled everything about a year ago and had no clue about how to re-assemble properly.
thanks for this video. everything was explained well. Was biking a few days ago and my bike started to "ghost shift" randomly. Just changed the pulleys. the shifts smooth and the skips are gone
The guide pulley has rubber rings and metal disks on each side which I cannot get to seat properly ... I was hoping this video would show how to do that.
Thank you. I have just replaced my jockey wheels and something didn’t seem right, and now I know I put the pulleys the wrong way round with the tensioner pulley at the top.
2:05 you mixed the bearing sleeves, thats why its got play like that. It is absolutely not supposed to be that way as it leaves a huge gap for dirt ingress.
I hope you are out there riding. My bike club has canceled group rides until further notice. We are finally getting some decent riding weather here in PA.
I've never tested the two to compare. Cleaning your chain periodically is a good thing, especially if you ride in dirty, dusty conditions. I have a quick & efficient method to clean the chain, check out this video: th-cam.com/video/Aiql_2UNTEE/w-d-xo.html
I understand leverage and used very little pressure. I did not strip it out as you suggest.... I'm not sure how you could determine that by watching the video. I several thousand trouble free miles on the new jockey wheels.

Thanks for the help! I took my jockey wheels off without noting which is guide and tension, but I figured it out with your vid

You are welcome. I try to include all the detail that you might need in the videos.

You are welcome, James.
The guide pulley isn't directional and doesn't have arrows.

You are welcome, Jeff. Enjoy your rides.
Very well explained and articulated. Appreciate it!
You are welcome. Happy riding! We have had some nice days here recently in PA that have been great for a bike ride.

You are welcome, it's my pleasure to help. Happy riding!
Do the bushings need a grease or lubricant?
You could use a drop of your favorite chain lube.
is it ok if I use 11t jockey wheels instead 10t?
Thank you good video well explained.
You are welcome!
Very helpful! Thnx!
You're welcome!
Thanks for video well explained. Really helpful.
You are welcome, Raymond. Happy riding.
good video! I think shimano indicates 2.5-5 Nm torque. other sites suggest 3Nm.
Thanks for taking the time to comment and the torque specs, jojo. Contributions like yours add to the value of the video.
2:05 you mixed the bearing sleeves, thats why its got play like that. It is absolutely not supposed to be that way as it leaves a huge gap for dirt ingress.
I'll politely beg to differ with you... here's a link to Shimano's pdf si.shimano.com/api/publish/storage/pdf/en/ev/RD-7700/EV-RD-7700-1656A.pdf
the best video,

@@Know-How-Now which is better, less damaging the chain? aluminum or plastic Pulley Wheel ?

Don't use the long arm of the Allen key to torque the pulley bolts. It's typically rated 3Nm, that's why you found out it was so easy to strip.

I just realise you did everything upside down
