Began a detailed description of limit-stop screw adjustment. This module needs to be expanded to cover barrel adjusters and their relationship to indexed and non-indexed shifters and related adjustment. Ideally, a standard glossary should be referenced - or established if none exists - so that terminological issues in this domain are minimised. Certainly needs more work on intra-wikipedia links. Retained original link to the external site, as it is among the best discussions of the subject matter available (to date). -- 30-08-2006 michael at cam org

This page needs to be more than a simple reference to an external link

Division of sections
Would anyone object to creating separate sections for rear and front derailers? All of the general topic lesson material could be put under derailers and the specifics could be addressed in each sub article. I think it would be a good idea as a person may only be interested in the specifics of replacing or adjusting a front or rear derailer. It would also allow for more comprehensive explanation of the specific topic. Alan.ca 03:40, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

It needs the basic thing first
What is needed I think is a clear description of the alignment of a basic rear-derailleur. After that, other things would be justified, and whether or not several pages are needed to cover it should be certainly be considered.

I could not quite follow the description as it stands as a practical how-to, and eventually went to the site at Park Tools; but their version needs too many pairs of hands or too much equipment. I hope that a few changes here will not be resented too much. Let me know here if there are fundamental objections to anything that is done, since I am not aware of the possible proprietary issues.

The photos are about the best that I have seen on the subject. Can the permissions stand the making of labelled copies?
