How to Properly Set Up Gears on a Mountain Bike: A Beginner’s Guide
Setting up gears on a mountain bike involves adjusting the derailleur and the limit screws. Start by shifting to the smallest gear on both the front and rear derailleurs. Use the limit screws to adjust the derailleur so that it lines up with the smallest chainring or cog. Then, shift the gears and use the barrel adjuster to fine-tune the shifting. Make sure the chain is properly lubricated and that all bolts are tightened before testing the new gear setup.
