No, I just need a picture. Maybe.

Are you supposed to tighten it when it is shifted to the big ring or the little ring?
  • shift to the littlest ring
  • adjust the barrel adjuster so you have some room in both directions
  • put the cable on - side of the bolt furthest from the pivot (probably closest to the frame)
  • pull the slack out
  • tighten the fixing bolt
  • adjust using the barrel adjuster until shifting is buttery smooth.
and there's this...

Yep. I don't think I'm tall enough for one.

I can finally get a car (permission). I can't afford one though.

Well remember the rule: Your car must have less value then your bike(s) :p

The 70's were worse.

Trust me on this.

My Audi used to take that in repairs once a month.

Some PGA golfer shot a 59 today.

It's in the hole.

That's for 18 holes, not 9 holes you Golf Freds.

Thanks. I'll have to work on this a little later.

One thing I'm still not clear on is whether the cable is supposed to be in direct contact with the bolt or if the little washer is supposed to be on the outside instead.

Washer. Always. The bolt would chew up the cable.

Depending on your bike, you could still wind up with a pretty nice car!

The 1870's did kind of suck.

Are we going historical? I won't be as clueless as on bike repair.

With that darned Franco-Prussian war and all.

I noticed that Jen has 170ish views of her profile already, after only joining in July.

That's what she gets for being 1 of 3 women on the forum I guess.
