Hi FYI ,if you want to access the spring behind the top pulley you can .look underneath the tube that contains the spring you will find a little oblong rectangular window port with a cover . Remove this cover not easy , have to pry it out you will then see a c clip similar to the one on derailleur hanger bolt.Remove this and it will all come apart, reverse order to reassemble.Have fun and good luck.
Use a brush to apply the grease evenly instead of gloves. Prevents cross contamination to when holding parts of the Rd. Great job with the instructional video
You can remove that part, it has a small panel that is removed with a micro screwdriver, then gains access to the circle inside which is again is fiddly but doable

Thank you for the video though it does show how to gain access to bits that most people would not know about
If you stop the video At 7:22 you can see the plastic piece that snaps into the housing . You have to remove that piece my prying it up,Once you remove that piece you turn the c clamp around so you see the 2 ends and put 2 small screwdriver on both sides and push the c clamp down then you can pull it apart to get to the spring inside . There are a few videos that show this . One is titled Fixing Shimano Sora Rear Derailleur With Slipped Cage .
I've went through 2 cassettes, 2 chains, and 3 lower brackets and the first replacement of the bushed Shimano jockey wheels is happening today. I never greased them as I've been taught the plastic/nylon was self lubricating and grease would deteriorate them. Maybe I'll start keeping them lubed with some PTFE chain oil? Or I suppose a non petroleum based grease like you have here on the video would be better and stick around longer if it doesn't attract dirt/grit.
Thanks for the video it was really helpful. I did as you said but IMO it's a chain that's making the squeeking noise. I did the same service as you did but it did not help. Even with massive amount of grease. The chain, on the other hand, bends both ways on those little wheels and makes the sound only on few pins while bending on.
@@vishwanathmallela2926 dude are u drunk? I said use a seringe for grease, he uses grease for the bearing. GOD DAMN IT!!!! U AND YOU THINKING. P.S. I.M A PRO BIKE MECHANIC FOR A BIG BIKE NAME IN GERMANY SO....SHUT UP AND HAVE FUN !!!
@@vishwanathmallela2926 Where did he mentioned the chain? He said use a syringe to apply the grease. So his main case for the comment was to say that he can use a syringe to accurate dosage the grease. I think you are not smart!
I have the same issue (squeaking noise) on the same derraileur. Can we just change the pulleys maybe tiagra ones? are they compatible for Sora R3000. Thanks.
hello, I have the same case, I’ve tried after market jockey wheels with bearings-you can choose variety of colours too -and works good, just buy the 11t jockey wheel,
thank you for this video! i have a problem. I put the B-screw all the way in, but I'm still able to swing the pulley forward with light finger pressure so that it touches the cassette. Is that normal?
Just swap.the wheels with ultegra or from an aftermarket company. Are they upper lower on.the sora? The derailleur looks very.much like the old 10 spd 105.
Yep, you've got to do this every 4 weeks. And that's why I rather spend 10 Euros more to get a higher-quality derailleur which is sealed inside. Job done. :D))))
That could be something as simple as a bent derailleur hanger or poorly indexed gears. An LBS should be able to easily diagnose your problem. I've had my Sora groupset for several years, keep it well maintained and it's as smooth as the first day. I'm willing to take the weight penalty in exchange for having little fear of damaging on gravel/offroad rights because the components are inexpensive.
Manuel Luis you can buy the ones from higher groups... Shimano sells one with bearings and simple ones. The ones with bearings are actually a little bit better. More precise when you shift.
Ceramic jockey wheels 5 francs all day long on Aliexpress. This stuff is real and darn good. Dont put junk jockey wheels on ANY groupset including ULTEGRA. Sorry to be such a pain but this stuff I am talking about is FAR higher quality than what comes on the groupset. I know you know whats the best way for a high quality build.
@@cannondany Its the best bang for the money and its HIGH QUALITY stuff for dirt cheap. I wont comment because you simply dont understand, and i am sorry.
Perhaps it would have been better to say something like changing to aftermarket ball bearing jockey wheel improve the derailleur. Don't mention any store or maybe just explain which one you had before and how it affects the rear dee.
@@thelawnet Nobody is getting a thing from the Alibaba group, but they have the lowest prices IN THE WORLD OF CYCLING. Buy what you want from where you want, but never put the same junk jockey wheels on your derailleur if you want performance. This stuff I am talking about is WIDELY used by cyclist all over Europe and its better and cheaper. If you dont know about Aliexpress then you have unlimited amounts of money to pay for the same thing or less. I am sorry for even suggesting the deals. Entire Italian cycling teams buy all their stuff from Alibaba, if you dont know, but get what you want from where you want and I am truly sorry. This is the last reply on your channel in response to the suggestion of working for a company.
First of all the pulleys are very conventional. Bearings in the pulleys is quite rare- and provides little actual advantage. Secondly- derailleur s need grease. Third- why on earth would you care if the derailleur makes a minor squeaks-so long as it works??? And finally WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THE BLACK GLOVES? Bikes do not carry the risk of pathogens.
Riding on a set of nicely lubed pulleys does make a difference. The ride feels smoother and this translates into less fatigue on the road over long rides. Bearings are not rare, you just have to pay more for them which again this is a budget group set. You definitely want to wear gloves because the degreaser will mess up your hands and plus makes for riding your bike unpleasant when you grease up your handlebars and leave finger marks all over your bike. You want to have pride in your work.
@@aacc8466 i will admit that there is a VERY SLIGHT performance increase with freshly greased pulleys or bearings in your pullies. May amount to as much as 6 inches every 1000 miles. Now about the gloves- most serious chemicals will dissolve them. The rest wash out with soap and water
@@joeg3741 Not sure where you are getting your numbers from but efficiency is just part of the reason why he is greasing. I suspect that hearing his pulleys grind drives him bunkers, which if you are riding for 4-5 hours would seriously annoy you and cause you to mentally fatigue... imagine a kid asking, "are we there yet?" every 5 seconds for 4-5 hours. YEP thats what I mean by fatigue. And better the gloves get washed out then my hands. You don't want to get your bike dirty after just cleaning it. Anyways have a good day.

You CAN take the cage off, there is a tab, you have to squeeze it out, and underneath there will be a c clip, pop it an there you go.
I often disassemble my front and rear derailleur after some longrides or rainy rides maintaining them Is a must for me to achieve a quality shifting.
I don't go that far, but a little maintenance goes a long way with Sora. Mine is as smooth as the day I bought it
I've had Sora rear mechs develop lateral play quite quickly. For a budget 9 speed rear mech I find the CNC'd Microshift Marvo XE works well.

I lube my jockey wheels and chain every 100 miles with R&R Gold chain lube. It makes a huge difference.
Because of your video, I greased my brand new Sora just as you did. Thanks man!
get to the spring part well i cant fell my fingers 3 hours to get it together ffffff

Advice: Use a seringe fill with grease to apply it gentle and precise. Good job !!!
Never apply grease to your drivetrain mate
@@vishwanathmallela2926 dude..is sora.....no stres
@@vladandrei2069 you’re not really smart are you? Sora or tourney or dura ace, grease isn’t meant to go on the chain, but inside bearings

No need to upgrade the derailleur, just upgrade the basic jockey wheels to Tacx jockey wheels.
Thanks, i'll do it in the spring.
I have the same issue (squeaking noise) on the same derraileur. Can we just change the pulleys maybe tiagra ones? are they compatible for Sora R3000. Thanks.

i like your crankset look nice and solid
thank you for this video!

thank you, i helps and it works for my bike 👍🙏
Just swap.the wheels with ultegra or from an aftermarket company. Are they upper lower on.the sora? The derailleur looks very.much like the old 10 spd 105.
My new bike came with Shimano Deore drivetrain. When I go into the taller gears it makes a squeaking noise, like a bird chriping.
The same for me. Very annoying as it suppose to work perfectly while it's new. My Turney had not this noise after 5 years without service.
@@vadymvv I think it was the upper jockey wheel I had to grease/lube. Doesn't do it anymore.
do you recommend replacing those pulleys with ceramic ones sold on ebay? thanks
Squeaking like that is most common to be a dry or/and dirty chain
Yea when i opened mine there was no grease and its a new bike. Like 6 months old and making squeaking noise
The tension arm is removable, remove the small hatch in the plastic casing. Bad info
Will you make a video on serving RD-M6000 derailleur?
He has a video on XT-M8000 It's practically the same design. I used the video to service my SLX-M7000
Can i use sram butter for all my parts as a greasing options or i should only concentrate this for the headset and shock absorber? Thanks
7:14 on the sora RD it cant. could you give us an example of groupset/rd which it can.
Hi there,can i use two different jockey wheel sizes in the same derailleur on a bike? thanks
Yes.
Hei sickbiker, is there any posibility for me to put dura ace r9100 groupset on a bb30 frame? I am building a road bike and i fiind a bb 30 frame
Does Tiagra 4700 has unsealed pulleys as well?
Can i put big pulley for shimano sora r3000.???
If i want upgrade pulley to 13t that competible?
Oh so that's what the noise is on mine. Thought it was my freehub
Yep, you've got to do this every 4 weeks. And that's why I rather spend 10 Euros more to get a higher-quality derailleur which is sealed inside. Job done. :D))))
You don't you use lock tight on the pulley bolts?
It already had it on
My sora is jumpy changing gears in the middle of the ride by itself.... Annoying... Tried tuning it myself

Just replace the pulleys with sealed ones. 9€ and Save some grease 🤣

where on earth we buy it _ the very same and exact size and measurements ?

I'm new to road cycling i can't belied there is no actual ball bearing there actually
