Thanks for watching
Just picked up this 105 derailleur and this is the BEST video I've seen on how to easily adjust a derailleur. Thanks for providing such an in depth guide on how it all works. This just saved me an hour of tuning 🤙🏼
Your vids are a LIFEsaver when it comes to bike maintenance and installation of components. Cannot like this stuff enough!
This is even better and more instructive than the Park Tool's videos 👍😁
bro thx, you dont know how long it took to find a video thats covers everything in detail like this
Learning about that bottom lug needing to touch the hanger during installation saved me a massive headache while rebuilding my bike on a trip. Thank you!!!
Massive thanks!! Great help replacing my cassette and derailleur 👌👍💪
Best teacher on CZcams
Excellent video - watching this before I swap out my rear derailleur, I finally understand what needs to be done. Your videos are first class and deserve a much wider audience. Many thanks indeed
Finally someone who knows to explain step by step. Thanks man
Thank you! I was able to assemble my new bike without having to go to the shop because of your video!
This channel deserve more views
Thank you! I've been riding a secondhand CAAD13 105 disc for a few years and noticed some inconsistent shifting. Inspected the RD and the bushing bolt was really loose. Problem solved, right? Nope. After realizing my RD was hitting the chainstay while dropping to small cogs, it occurred to me that it probably wasn't mounted properly to the hanger (as you demonstrated). Bingo! Now it's set like it should've been all along. Cheers!
Can I say, again, THANK YOU for your vids? You have a vid for all sorts of parts and components, as someone above/below said, you are an absolute lifesaver. Thank you again so much.
Thanks for a very straightforward guide on installing the rear derailleur
You do an awesome job of explaining and demonstrating how to do things. Thank you.
Absolutely spot on directions. Very thorough and clearly presented. Thank you so much!
Clear, concise and easy to follow.
Very good video I took off my derailleur gung ho fashion and just couldn’t work out how it went back this video showed me what to do thanks.
Thank you so much for making this video, saved me a trip to the bike shop!
Brilliant! Saved me after incorrectly positioning the derailleur originally.
This is awesome! I'm upgrading my bike once all the parts arrive from 10 speed to this 105 11 speed, and these videos are fantastic!
Thank you for your video. Only installation video i found for 105 RD-R7000
Cheers mate, your vids have proved invaluable for me when installing my r7000 group set.
Cheers for your Vids mate, would have been lost on my home built Bianchi with 105 R7020 setup without them! Brilliantly clear to follow.
Great walkthrough got it set up first time.....Thanks.
Fantastic videos. Clear and simple, everything I needed in minutes. You rock!
Thank you so much, your videos are excellent teaching guides. You sir, have a gift.
Good video! I had to figure it out two weeks ago when I got the groupset. Saw your first video on the front derailleur which was a godsend as I was unaware of the markers to line up.
Glad the video was of some help to you!
Thanks man! Always the best and most informative. High five from Paris, keep up the amazing work!!
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. This helped me diagnose shifting issues after mounting the new RD on my bike.
Great video very informative. You have been a great help for my 7000 groupset installing.
Outstanding video and great instructions, thank you 🙏 My 2x gravel bike was struggling to drop into the 11 cog, and a bit hit and miss getting into the 42 tooth as well on occasion - but always dropped into the 11 noisily once I was pedalling hard - what a pain in the ass it was to nail down until I found this vid. Both the H and L limit screws had been set quite conservatively 🙄 and once I watched this carefully 👀 and then turned each of them 1/2 a turn in the right directions - peace was restored - 👍😃😃
Fantastic video. All the little details that the others are missing
Thanks, nice and clear! Now for the from derailler!
Great video, I thought there might be something to do with the remaining cable so I wrapped it around the pinch bolt so that it's pointed away from the cassette and spokes. But I guess the solution is to just trim it really short. I'm also having trouble with the inner links of the chain sticking on the pulley teeth. It seems that either the CN-HG701-11 chain is too narrow or the teeth on the upper jockey wheel are too thick. I'm hoping it will wear in. *Note it seems the chain from Amazon is counterfeit. Going to the LBS tomorrow to see if they have a real one.
Those lugs were doing my mind in! For some reason I thought they had to go either side if the hanger tip so on my last framei filed the tip of by .5 mm. Shifted ok. Just got a new frame and thought that defo cant be right. Cheers. Kinda counter intuitive to have the derailleur connector going back not down.
had the same problem
Your video sir, is gold.
Thanks for the clear and concise instructions. Cheers!
Great advice my friend, thank you very much.
Very informative and helpful. don't think even GCN as are 'in depth' with their tech podcasts.
Thanks

GCN sux
Love your videos. So calm and easy to follow. Thank you
Super helpful, crystal clear! Thanks for posting!
Great video and thank you. I am changing from 5800 derailleur with an 11-28 cassette to R7000 with a 11-34 in the next few days so this is the ideal instruction video :D
It's great that you mention the two stops (lugs) on the rear mech and where to place it but I can find no mention anywhere on the internet as to why. After all, there are two lugs and a range of indicator marks telling me that it could in fact be mounted in a variety of positions between the two. I know that some B-stop screws on some Shimano 105 rear mechs make contact with the hanger stop whereas some (such as this rear mech) do not.
My go to channel & the best on you tube.👏
Thanks!
On ya mate. 👍
Cheers for a very well set out video.
Great job by you! Could not have asked for better
YOU ARE THE MAN
Thanks for the video, appreciate the tips. My 105 set should be delivered any day now. Excited to try and install everything on my own.
Thank you. This video clip really helped me today.
What an excellent tutorial. Thanks mate!
Brilliant - Clear and precise video with every step explained, Saved me scratching my head and messing something up. Shimano should pay you for this.
Any tips on correct chain link counts as you mentioned the new setup may need this changing?
great well presented
Did mine today but I just took the bottom jockey wheel out of the derailleur instead of breaking the chain as I couldn't be bothered. My gear cable rusted, split and blocked the outer cable casing also. My local dealer selling cheap crap cables as I bought it only a year or two ago but the previous cable that came with the Raleigh bike lasted over 20 years! So some things were better in the past. Now I've got to go get another cable and casing but I'll still limp into town on the bike (dislike walking) in the smallest front a rear sprockets until I get the parts to get it working again but as the bike breaks I learn new things like there is a b tension screw I'd previously always ignored. It's a messy business though, oil and dirt and crap wise. Easy with a nice new bike on a stand in your case lol.
Your video is the best 🔥
Excellent
Thanks for this great, clear video
Perfect up to the point when adjusting the B screw and you say use an Allen key to check the gap, would have made it crystal clear if you’d done it not just said it! Appreciate your time though!
fab tutorial chap.
Very good video, the most comprehensive guide I have seen. Perfect.
Thank you for this video!
Great video; I’m pleased I didn’t just try and wing it!
Life saver mate.
Thanks, great video, super clear!
master!
Thank you for a great video!
Great video, thanks for making it so simple.
Brilliant. Thanks mate!
This was very useful. Thank you!
thanks for the subtitles
Thnx Bro.
Excellent! Thank you very, very much!
Well I've fitted mine, works okay but getting the wheel out is a right pain! Is this normal or have I done something wrong?
On my mtb if your not in the smallest cog its an fing nightmare!!! Also let the tyre down as that can make it harder.
Nice one as usual!
Thank you for this great video. How does the R7000 compare to your old R6800 Ultegra. Thx
Very good tutorial! Thanks a lot!
So my derailleur won’t go into the lowest gear but I’ve already turned the barrel all the way back (anti clockwise) and checked the low limiter screw. Do I have to pull more cable through the bolt of the derailleur to add more tension? Or what should I do? Thanks a lot, this video was very straightforward and easy to follow
Yes you will need to get more cable tension, and double check the low limit without the cable attached.
Is it possible to adjust H and L bolts after the real derailleur cable has been attached and fixed to its place? Or, only possible to adjust the those bolts - smallest and largest cog screws without the cable attached?
If so, could I have done a mistake by screwing the bolts after the cable is attached and the derailleur is "active"?
Thank you!
Great walkthrough on this thanks. There are two lugs on the reverse of the derailleur. Do these go either side of the lug stop on the hanger. No real instructions with the item. Could you clarify please.
Did you ever get an answer to your question about the two lugs? I just installed this derailleur and was wondering the same thing.
Great video. Totally understandable. Btw what chain do u use there?
Shimano HG601 chain
@@FreeToCycle I just bought kmc x11el yesterday works fantastic on my r7000. Plus it looks cool
the cable ferrules pull right off and its likely the length of the old cable will work on the new derailleur
Hi, great video, very helpful. Question for you if that's OK. Gears are changing fine after installing this derailleur, but when on the road and in the small rings at the back the chain seems to get stuck if I stop peddling. (Chain seems to hang down on the top jockey wheel). Any tips? Thanks!!
How is your 105 performing over the miles?
I am encountering an issue with the 1st cable entry/exit angle before the pinch bolt. The cable is gradually wearing into the derailleur body.
On other models it seems as though there is a tongue guard, which is omitted on this model and I could not see it installed within your video.
Have you had any issues like this?
Do you have any suggestions to fix please?
I am unable to post URLs here but search for "Shimano RD-R7000 cable cut into thread?" and you should find the exact issue I am having, with pictures!
It seems I am not alone
Nice work - thanks for the vid. Sub’d
👍🏻
When fitting the new derailleur i have to adjust the mount so it is not touching the hanger stop so it takes up chain sag on a 11-32 with 50/34 compact is this ok
Thanks for a very clear and informative video. What are your thoughts on the r7000 vs the 5800 front and rear derailleurs? Is there a noticeable improvement? Worth the upgrade or only if old parts are worn...
Charles They are a worthwhile upgrade if your old parts are getting tired.
I have a problem with the chain swinging a lot, even falling off the Crown, when it's in the heaviest gear (big chainring and small ratchet) what could it be? The chain is not long, it didn't happen before, it happened after almost 2,000 kms. today I took the cage out of the gear and changed the spring to the other hole to increase the tension of the cage and keep the chain tighter, but I'm still in doubt, I don't know what else to do, could you help me?
Hope you're still monitoring this thread. I had to run a new cable to the rear derailleur, used your video the first installation and it worked perfect. This second time I'm trying to adjust the shifting, I can only get the shifter to work up through 6 shifts (clicks). Any idea what I need to adjust to get it to shift through all 11 gears upward?
Was the shifter set to the smallest sprocket before you connected the cable up?
@@FreeToCycle yes, made sure to do that this time around. I think I just didn't tighten the cable up enough when setting it up. I'll be able to work through it now. Thanks for the reply and for all your videos
Hi, thanks for a great video. Do you know if a 5800 shifter would be compatible with this RD? Both are 11 speed but just don’t know if the indexing for the 5800 is different. Thanks
Yes they are fully compatible!
Sorry meant to say if it's the bottom lug to make contact, what function does the top one do.
Thanks for this! 1:03 what is the small outer sleeve piece that one finds in addition to to longer one? what is this used for? thanks!
Can I use a 11-32 cassette on a 105 R7000 SS cage as my rear road wheel has a 11-30t on it. Or would I need to change the derailleur to GS cage
Yes you can use the 11-32t cassette on a short cage r7000 derailleur!
Do you have the barrel adjust screwed all the way in to start with or all the out
All the way in then back it out a couple of turns! So just off the bottom.
wich its better gs or ss?
👍
Hi there, I have a troubleshooting issue. I have this derailleur on a 11-34t cassette. I got a new chain and I'm pretty sure I sized it right (big to big method, making sure it fully engaged on the rear sprocket).
However, when I go from the smallest sprocket to the smallest chainring (I don't do use that combination while actually riding) my chain tension becomes non-existent or loose. I'm forced to push my B Screw Tensioner all the way in just to get enough tension for that combination. The other combinations have good tension otherwise.
This looks bad because my pulleys end up being really far from the sprockets. Any thoughts on this ?
Your chain is to long!
@@FreeToCycle I've measured it multiple times and seems like it's okay. Could it be that my derailleur's spring tension is not good or working properly ?
Does anyone else have issues removing the back wheel on a disc brake bike after changing to the r7000 ? I switched from rd5800 to r7000, and now my rear wheel won't come off. (I shift into the smallest sproket and the smaller chain ring, and still no dice)
Thank you. All other videos were shit
Would it take a 40 tooth or still need a road link mate?? , looks like it already has one on there...
You will need a RoadLink to run a 40 cassette on the back.
@@FreeToCycle no worries mate thanks for your time...
For the R7000 and R8000 series, the Roadlink has changed. It's now called "Roadlink DM" It replaces the first link (called the B Link) on the derailleur.
just followed the instructions in this great video and fitted new R7000 105 front and rear mechs and an Slx 11- 40 cassette no problems. Just needed a lot of b screw use. Works great with 5800 shifters.
