How many have you broken the change in the middle of a route and have you had to walk again or by other means?
Do not miss the solution we give you in this video to go home pedaling!
It is not the first time that you have come to our workshops with the change in hand or twisted or
rolled with the chain; and of course, with the bike in tow because you were left lying in the middle of a route.
It is not a common fault though, if it is serious. But it has a solution and it is easier than you think.
It is normal that you do not carry a spare change in your exits but if you do not want to abort the route due to any mechanical problem, it is
essential that you carry: a multiherramienta, a troncha chains and a pin or quick link corresponding to your chain.
And at least one
removable cover, preferably plastic.
How strange, right? Well now you will see why. Let's go to the practical case: we have removed the sheave
change
that could also happen to us, a sheave is broken ... the change no longer works and we have to eliminate the change.
What was the first thing we had to do? Well, of course, as we have already told you, carry a chain and open the chain.
As we have a pin to put it on then, we eliminate the bolt altogether. We already have the chain open, now
we eliminate
change and we leave it free. What do we have to do next? Well with our multitool,
Remove the change cable,
we loose the tensioner to remove the cable,
and now we are going to hit a little pull to eliminate the stop and that the cable comes out of the change.
We already have the cable here loose, and now we finish removing the change
loosening the screw that holds it to the pin.
The change then we put it in our camelbak backpack or we put it in the pocket of the malliot, where we want ...
Leaving it here can mean that we are hooked with the chain and it is better to remove it from the bike.
What do we have left now?
The loose cable will also bother us ... we could remove it and remove it whole or, if we want
give it a spin around here by the pod
and then hold it
with a bridle We are going to choose to remove it completely.
Once the chain is open, we will have to measure it again to place it in our transmission. How do we do it?
we will have to think about the way we have left to go home. Keep in mind that if we are not going to be able to change,
the development,
the choice of the dish and the pinion will be crucial to get it right.
That all we have left is flat or downhill ... perfect! We can choose large plate
if we have more than one, and an intermediate or even small pinion. But now well ... if what we have left is everything
uphill you will have to take advantage of the smaller plate and a medium pinion or pulling large.
Well, we are going to choose an intermediate position. We are going to use a large plate ... we pass the chain through the large plate
and for example the fifth pinion 1 2 3 4 and we gear in
the fifth, and now what we do is passing the chain through the big plate
we tensed it by hand to see where we would be able to unite it.
It gives us this link, so now what we do is we take our chain chains and let's open the chain
for this link.
Remember to collect all the debris that you drop to not leave any residue
In nature... We already have the chain at the correct length
So that it meshes with the greater tension in that pinion as we are going to have a lot of tension and it will cost us
put the pin then what we do is that we lower the chain
to the smallest pinion, and so we can work well with it.
We have a pin
for this chain and what we do is join the chain with the pin.
We already have it in place and now we take our tenth chains
And we are going to
put it so that the chain is completely closed.
And if you want to use a quick link instead of a pin, nothing happens, but consider the length of the quick link when
go to measure the length of the chain.
And now with the Tronchacadenas de Topeak,
we eliminate the part of the pin that we have left over. We already have the chain closed.
What do we have to do now? put back
the fifth pinion. For that is what we are going to use the demountable, we do not recommend that you do it
with your hand because you can get your finger between the chain and the pinion. With the demountable then, we will place it below
of the axis and we're going to do it as if it were the derailleur, pushing the chain
towards the largest pinions until we engage
in the fifth pinion.
And there we have it!
Notice that we have left the chain
quite tense, if we did not have this tension, the normal thing is that it would go away
coming out ... falling towards the lower pinions ... or coming out completely.
We have done it
with this Mighty colt! as you probably do not want to go with the road horse, because if you just go with a friend, you can pick up a little
the bike, it helps you pedal, and you with the derailleur
Place it on your hip in its place and if you are alone then you turn the bike around supporting it in the saddle
and on the handlebar and you yourselves use it. And nothing more! Thank you very much for
listen to us, if you have been interesting, you have learned something, we always recommend it!
And we said goodbye with a smile:
An old woman in the middle of a religious service
She bends over to her husband and says: - I missed a petedete, but it has been
silent what do I do? And the husband says: nothing but when you go out change the batteries to the sonotones! hehe
See you ... in the next video!
