We all had to start somewhere. Rivendell has some great help videos. I've
learned some nice tricks from Mark. - Ricky

Ah... but you possess the key quality of a true Jedi mechanic... You are
FEARLESS!!!
I had a true Jedi mechanic once tell me:
Never let the bicycle see you sweat,
Make your adjustments swift, purposeful and with conviction,
Failure is only temporary, be persistent,
And most important...
My mistake. I meant blue. I do know the difference as I use them both.
Mike is correct. Confusion. I get that after a couple of beers
sometimes.

First, I've bought loctite in blue bottles.
Second: I once used red loctite on a fixed cog. Then I wanted to get
it off. I didn't know about heat. It wouldn't budge. So I put that cog
in a vise and twisted hard -- danmed hard! The cog (a Dura Ace)
finally shattered, leaving up-and-down undulations

To which I reply:
I would strongly recommend NOT using RED Loctite. You want to be using the
BLUE on just about anything on a bicycle.*
I use shorter rack screws, lock washers and red loctite. Haven't lost
one yet.

My observation is that with 11 & 12 tooth small cogs, there is little
clearance for the drive side rack screw to extend beyond the threaded
eyelet without chain interference. On the rack installation
Been there and know the feeling, Mazel tov.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who's ever spent totally inappropriate
amounts of time setting derailer limits. Amateur mechanic solidarity!

On the bright side, I did manage to adjust my brakes, front and back,
and replace the pads.
Also, I'm pretty sure the old derailler was fine. I replaced the too
long screw holding my rack on, which I suspect was the issue all
along.
