Hey guys

i was tuning my derailleur today and saw 2 screws, one labeled H and the other labeled L. Does anyone know what those screws are meant for/do?

Thanks in advance!

those screws adjust the derailleur stops on the rear cassette for the smallest and largest cogs.

yea, they are pretty much the only adjustment you have with the x-9 derailliur. the only other adjustment your have is cable tension and that is on the shifter itself. very simple, care free system. good luck with your set up.

other derailleurs have more adjustments?
and besides for the barrel adjustment, theres the b-limit screw too

H = Hell Yeah go faster
L = you're so slow Loser.

B tension = Balls I got it wrong.

Check out ParkTools.com for some great step by step tips on adjusting derailleurs etc. The basic step by step stuff sounds boring but it really works well.
