Ive seen countless threads on derailleur adjustment, yet somehow, its still a mystery to many of you. It seems like every Tom, ****, and Harry claims to be a mechanic these days, but when it comes down to it, their bikes are still shifting like garbage.
So, lets get down to business. Whats the most accurate method to adjust derailleurs? Is it still the barber pole technique, or has something new come along that Ive missed? Ive seen some guys swearing by the push-pull method, while others insist on using a fancy derailleur alignment tool.
Lets cut through the noise and get some real answers. Whats the most efficient way to get my derailleurs dialed in, and what tools do I really need to get the job done? Dont give me any of that its all about feel nonsense or tell me to take it to a shop. I want concrete steps and specific recommendations.
