I don't know why I am even attempting to adjust the gears myself as I am useless at anything practical (or should that be useless at practically anything?!)
I am boosted by the fact that I managed to fiddle with the front derailleur and make it go up and down all three cogs (woo-hoo!). Unfortunately, the rear mechanism hasn't been quite as successful. Sometimes the gears slip (especially if I am in low gear on the front cog) and generally gears are slow to respond.
Any help or advice in plain english would be much appreciated. I am supposed to be doing the 56 mile Liverpool - Chester bike ride this Sunday (4th July) and could do with having a half working bike to do it on!
Cheers

PS Don't ask me any techie details about the bike. All I can tell you is its a Carrera Vulcan 21 speed...if thats any help!
