Check out his site. It has everything you need to understand these adjustments. The 'regions' are parts of the bike.

There are several things that could be wrong. You could have thrown your chain (you couldn't ride at all if so). The bike could have been crashed and the derailleur bent. The cable might have slipped where it bolts to the derailleur. Or the cable or shifter could need maintenance, too. It is most likely one of the above. If it is only the adjustment, there are two stop screws on the derailleur that can be adjusted.

My best advice for you is to either find a bicycle repair manual at a local bookstore or your library that can show you some of the detail. Or just let your local bike shop do the repair.

you need to adjust the tension on the derallieur, you can log onto shimano.com and follow instructions, it is simple enough the way they show it, if not then search derallieur adjustment

Hi log onto shimano.com and you will find what you are looking for

log onto trek.com and go to support. Shifting gear isw simple enough just press the bottom shift to go up nto easier gear and pull on top shift to go to higher(harder) gear

That would of course depend on why you took it apart, what you did to it and what specific model (year included) you're talking about.

My advice would be to take it down to a Local Bike Shop and let them assess what needs to be done.

follow the procedure carely. remove the brake hose from the caliper. now clean it up and reinsert it. now kick the brake strongly.keep in this pressed position. now pour the brake oil into the master cylinder(fully). now release the brake pedal and strongly kick the brakes twice and release it. make sure to close the brake master cylinder closed. Thats it your done..... have a safe ride!!!

face in

If the pedal is moving too free,but the bike are still moiving forward, it simply mean you are using to low a gear .

Try changing to a high enough gear to satisfy your required tension. Be advised that,
You will also increase your speed,and decrease your hill climbing in the process though.

The easy answer and solution is yes, which will give you the opportunity to fit a handy little device called a missing link, which will allow you to remove your chain for cleaning in the future. They are available at bike shops and cost about $6.

start of by running chain over top of rear sprocket so sprocket turns anticlockwise around and over top of top cog then between top and bottom cog so chain is round back of bottom cog then under bottom of front chain wheel up and around antyclockwise through front gear mech if you have one then join 2 ends together with link extractor.

You might try contacting these guys if you haven't already thought of it:http://www.parktool.com/contactus.asp Hope this helps.

There are good articles at this site:http://sheldonbrown.com/gears.html I hope this helps.

This is usually caused by a front deraleur located too close to the outside perimeter of the outside cog. Without looking at it, I would venture to say that by adjusting the deraleur height a little higher (not much), you might get rid of this problem.

Google for it!
Post a request in your local craigslist.org.
This is not a FixYa problem

There is a washer on the hub that is not supposed to spin, so it has a "key" in it that matches the machined area of the axle.

Hope this answers your question,

you need to remove the center plate and the bolt holding them both in if it has one?
