Where do 3 adjustment washers to create the winding shape go on a Shimano solstace 4000FI

Derailleur position should have nothing to do with being able to reinsert the cable binding bolt, and unless the cable is very loose the tension is adjusted with the barrel adjuster at the end of the cable housing.

It is hard to tell via the Internet. I suggest that you take it to a bike shop. They will get it shifting smooth, and, if not tell you what is wrong.

www.shimano.com has detailed basic manuals for all their components.

What are you having problems with adjusting?

Tips:

On the side of the cantilevers there is a tiny 2mm set screw, these adjust tension and will help to balance the two brakes for centering.

Make sure the cable assembly is centered over the brakes.

Pads - if you can't get them to stay in place you may have to replace the conical washers or the pads or both.

Is this the very old style with the thumb changer on the handle bars?

Here is a link to a tech sheet for a Shimano Deore rear derailleur. It is not your exact one, but all Shimano derailleurs are more or less the same. Make sure you have thoroughly cleaned your drivetrain with a degreaser (like Simple Green) and a brush to clear all grease and debris before making adjustments. The second step is to shift into your highest gear (the smalles cog) and then release the cable in the derailleur, pull taut and retighten it. Check again to make sure you can not get into low gear, because it may have been a problem with cable tension, which you just fixed. If it still does not, then adjust the "L" setting on the derailleur so that the jockey wheel on the derailleur will move just ever so slightly past the last cog on the cassette when the shifter is fully engaged.

Hope this helps,

If you are running a straight pipe you will need to create some back pressure in it. Any type of small baffle will do. Back in my day we brazed a 1/8" soft steel rod to two edges of a washer then drilled two slightly larger holes 1/4" from the end of the pipe. Then heated the rod to shape it a bit and then inserted the stem w/ washer into the end of the pipe. A slight dent was then put in the pipe to index the rod position. Below is a rough bit of artwork that will show the "snuff knob" in the snuff position. For the city it can be turned "open" to allow unrestricted exhaust when slower speeds do not create excess wind.

That is the mode setting.

The triangle is "I feel" mode. You adjust up or down according to how you feel

The star is "cool mode"

The wind or fan shape is for the "fan on/off" mode

And the rain drop is the "dry" mode to lower the humidity in the house.
