The Woodstock 707 is equipped with the Sram X7 rear dérailleur and shifters. Tuning the dérailleur is a bit different from Shimano dérailleurs. One might notice that the X7’s don’t have adjusting barrels on the dérailleur it self. The adjusting barrel is actually located on the shifter pod. First step is to shift it so…
