Video Transcript

"We've now re-installed the rear wheel, we've check to make sure it's not rubbing on the brakes. The last check is to make sure that it is shifting correctly after it's been installed. And, one way to do that without a stand is peddle it a couple of strokes, you can see that it's shifting well in that gear, or running smoothly in that gear. You can shift an index bike one gear at a time without peddling, make sure it gets through all of it's gears without a problem, which this bike seems to be doing quite well. Going back to the higher gears, you can do more than one at a time, it's not over shifting a high or a low, so the adjustment is alright."
