Gear indexing

Ian43

Ok so a quick probably stupid question as I am no bike mechanic but willing to fiddle and learn, I am trying to re-index my rear gears on my Boardman pro and it is an X9 medium cage rear mech, on this guide at point 7 setting rear cable do I start on the highest or lowest cog as it says a normal rear mech or low rapid rear mech !! I am assuming mine is a normal rear mech.

TBH I would read the how to on Parktools (and bookmark the link) link in my sig, as it still is the best guide out there.

I start at where the mech sits without the cable attached. in your case it should be over the small cog.

+1 for nick. That guide really helped me, I didn't have a clue what I was doing before I read it! Printed it out and it's now kept with my tools.

A great thanks for the replies I will give the Park tools guide a go.
