- Hopefully a useful video for some SRAM shifter owners/users.
I try and make these videos as short as possible, never really works out.
0:00 Disassembly
2:54 The tricky part, lever spring rebuild
12:47 You made it, easier from here. - Sport
Thank you very very much 😊. Great Tip in how to assemble the spring!
This video helped me so much all the other videos on CZcams didn’t show every step of the way. Thank you so much!
Just working on my dads old mtb and this was really helpfull. He will be back on the trails in no time. Thanks for the video :-)
Thank you! Yours and another video did help greatly... Played around with this damn thing for 5 hours...
Man you just saved my ass, i owe you a beer!!!! Thank you thank you thank you
The spring portion was pure gold. Great focus, real clear. Saved me a lot of time trying to figure it out myself. LOL but after rebuild and greasing up it still doesn't bounce back after shifts correctly. LOL oh well new shifters it is
Glad some of it was helpful. I think the X9 stuff even though quite old now still commands a decent price on the used market.
@@Chambers36TheEnter I think my springs got weak over time? bounces back with familiar nice audible click on upshift but once i run a cable and attach to derailleur it struggles to bounce back LOL
spot on!!! Thank you
great video.... both my thumb shifters are running freely and not doing anything . Have you ever had a similar issue, or could give me any advise as to what the issue could be. Thanks
Hi
I've have had them moving freely without engaging, it was the ratchet system inside that was not lined up but this was only when I was rebuilding them. 12:46 covers the ratchet system but yours could be very different if it just happened suddenly.
@@Chambers36TheEnter appreciate the reply thanks. think ive nearly got it sorted the tricky little sod ha
Really helpful thanks, my 9 speed was opposite way to yours so assumed yours was 2/3 speed? It’s finally back together but only seems to click for 7 to 8? It’s not on the bike yet so will have to see?
Yes this was a 3 speed shifter.
It could be that your ratchet system is starting on gear 2 out of 9, so you're only getting 7 clicks.
Once it's in the right location to begin with it should be able to cycle the clicks as it's only duplicating the same movement over and over until it's physically stopped by the metal plate.
Cheers, so no need to take apart again then, hopefully?
I successfully put it back following your steps, but find that the shifting lever would lock up if I tighten the center screws, and I'm guessing it's not normal
I followed your instructions on the two spacers(nylon & metal ones), and even tighten it with the plastic side cover not installed, so it's not that part that's causing an issue, any idea why this is the case?
btw, thanks for the video, I would have no idea how to put it back if it wasn't for this video!
I'm not too sure to be honest. I did have some issues with the lever locking but every time it was to do with the washers. Often they looked fine in the area where you can see them but else where they were either not lined up or getting stuck.
@@Chambers36TheEnter Thanks for the reply good sir.
Update: I think it's caused by that plate holding the spring opening up a bit when I put it into the main housing, I tried several times but it won't stay closed when I insert it
I try replicating your method (and the way you hold it) but I'm working on the right one (9 speed) so I have to hold it differently and it's a lot harder for some reason
Do you know any other way to guarantee it not popping open on it's own?
Thanks a lot!
Hello. I havesame as yours a 3 speed that does not go up in 3rd as there is no click but I can push the lever all the way to pull the cable. Wondering if this process will help fix that before I open.
It might not fix it, as there could be a broken part inside. It could be that you just need to reset the ratchet system.
12:48 the top part, if it is not in the right place to begin with then it won't work. It could be that your gear 1 is on gear 2.
Good luck.
The screw at the top won't open for me. Any suggestions ?
You could try holding the screw still that's underneath and then undo the top screw.
Basically the top screw, screws into another screw that ends up turning as the top screw gets tighter.
