Rear Derailler

Adjust Your Derailler

Just got my bike back from a shop after they did their yearly maintenance on it. The bike is just a year and a half old and was running fairly decently, just wanted to get the chain and rear cassette cleaned up. I picked up the bike and the rear derailler wasn’t set up right the bike started jumping gears and clicking. I was pissed, but not upset enough to want want to take my bike back to the shop across town.

Wondering if I could just adjust it myself I did a web search and found the Bike Tutor website.
