## **Details**

A misaligned or poorly tuned rear derailleur can ruin an otherwise great ride. In this class, we’ll cover the essentials of getting your shifting running smooth and accurate.

### **What we’ll go over:**

* How to check whether your derailleur hanger is straight.
* Understanding and setting your high- and low-limit screws.
* How to evaluate your shifter cable and housing (a major source of shifting issues).
* What worn parts look like: derailleur condition, jockey wheels, cassette, and chain.
* How to do a clean, reliable derailleur tune that works on any number of gears.

This session is hands-on and beginner-friendly. **Please bring YOUR BIKE.** You’ll learn on your own drivetrain.
