I've basically installed, uninstalled and dismantled 2 derailleurs twice. I think I did chain length by the shimano Largest sprocket + 2links if I remember correctly) method, which others seem to say they have used with some success (can't remember where I saw this suggested).
No video I'm afraid, it shifts and runs fine when there is no significant force on the pedals (ie on a bike stand) but as soon as I'm actually trying to ride it, it sort of skips or bounces as you apply weight/force on the pedals- as I say the tensioning arm gets pulled forward a little like the chain is sticking in the derailleur or something.....creating a skip in the chain. It works fine on the two largest sprockets and runs/pedals smoothly.
Just cannot figure this mech out!
