  heredude asked:

  Bike Shop Recommendations I was in an accident that left my rear derailleur quite bent. Are there any local shops I can take it in to get looked at; perhaps even where I can go and work on it myself with guidance? I feel that it can be straightened out and I'm looking to investigate this path before I consider replace it.

  FYI, there's an Indianapolis bicycling subreddit where the bike nerds hang, it's at /r/bikeIN . If I were you, I'd use this as an opportunity to learn to replace a rear deraileur. When mine was bent, there was nothing the mechanics could do with it so I replaced and installed myself. I just did another one last week for the second time and it needed zero adjusting out of the box beyond cable tensioning. If you wanna try it yourself, check out the thousands of helpful youtube videos or go to parktool.com fr their helpful maintenance tutorials. You can do it! If you need any help selecting your deraileur let me know and I'll help ya out!

  Guys I need my gears adjusted early tomorrow morning is there anyone you recommend who would come out to my work?

  http://www.parktool.com/.../rear-derailler-adjustments... Really easy to do. Tbh just turning your barrel adjuster anticlockwise a couple of turns will tension the cable and sort it out if its from the cable stretching over time.
