Question about my derailleur

[Albez]

So I was wondering if my derailleur looks normal to you guys. Is it normal for the 3 screws to be half undone like on the pic as i don't want them falling out.

Don't worry, they are adjustment screws and they will not move. They adjust high- and low stop and how close the dérailleur sits towards the cassette - DON'T touch them if it works fine

Yeah, it works fine but did wonder if they looked normal. Thanks Karsten.

Calvin from Park Tools fully explains derailleur setup. Spend the 15 mins it takes to watch the video and see how easy it all really is:

looks as if your higher gears are worn ...just like mine .
Have you checked your chain...you might need a change.££££££££

Keep in mind that the teeth have that "worn" look when brand new, there are lots of seemingly random angles/cuts on the teeth to aid in shifting. When I got back into bikes a year ago I thought my cassette was shot on my Ibis until I started digging into it and realized they are supposed to look that way.

I guess if it aint broke dont fix it .

My chain was jumping gears but new chain was worse....new cassette fixed it.
Have the old one hanging on the wall.....quite a work of art.
