Derailleur adjustment

Is there somewhere (online) that describes how to adjust the front and rear? My bike needs a tune up, but mostly for the drivetrain. I figured, if I learn how to do it, I can save some cash.

Got to google and type in Park Tools. It should explain itself from there. Or....

Aside from Park Tool, already mentioned, you might want to check out Sheldon Brown's site.

Good luck!
