Free Shipping on bike parts, tires, tools, and cycling accessories at http://www.bikemanforu.com In this tutorial, YouTube's how-to guru of bicycle repair takes on Shimano's notorious XTR Rapid Fire gear shifters. XTRs are known to suffer from gunk build-up, so BMFU is ready with his parrot nose cutters, pawl, and aerosol can of brake cleaner. Why brake? Because it has trichlorethylene, a nasty but useful solvent. First, he snips the cable, careful to keep the lengths nearby because he'll be using them to measure new cable. After removing the shifter dust cover. he uses a pawl to clean out the inner mechanism. He then applies a dose of Spray Brake and continues using the pawl to work the mechanism back and forth until the spring moves freely. He frees up both front and rear shifters, using the same pawl to work the mechanisms back and forth. Use a small but careful action, he says. Be patient. There's no need to overspray with cleaner, just refresh as needed. He moves onto the gear cable itself. "Gear cable is very, very specific," he says, adding that good quality is a good investment, especially if your bike has Rapid Fire or click shifters..He uses Clarks universal gear cable in one length, which comes in a kit with ferrules and extra cable ends from BikemanforU. The casing will be cut in various lengths. Use your old removed casing to measure. Give yourself a hair extra when you snip. Use parrot head cable cutters and an awl to open the housing entrance. That's important. Gear casing is stiff than flexible brake casing and it's important to use gear with gear and brake with brake. Install the metal ends with a little push and no crimping. The shifters are cleaned and soaked and ready. He uses a light lubricant like White Lightening on the shifter mechanism. Avoid any thick lubricant. Next he screws the dust cover back on in preparation for threading the cable. The Clarks gear cable shown in this video has it's own video.
