bar end shifter indexing

[tom]

Hey all,

After a bit more of your fantastic advice. I have some Shimano 9-speed
bar end shifters on my Dawes Galaxy. When using them in indexed mode, I
only get 5 clicks when changing the rear derailleur. Somewhere in the
middle of the range, I am still able to change into every gear, but it
doesn't click into place..so it is sort of semi-friction in the middle.


Is this normal? And if not, is there anything I can do about it? I
haven't seen any adjustment of the clicks/indexing.

?

Thanks!


Tom

Sounds like cable adjustment is out. Try loosening the cable at the rear
deraileur and see if you get 9 clicks at the lever.

Try assembling the lever with the chromed innerring rotated to a
different position. It fits a few ways, but only works properly in one.

It sounds as though the "lever boss cover" has been installed incorrectly.
See the diagram here:

Part number 2 can be installed in four different orientations. To work
correctly, the protrusion on the side facing the lever should point
downwards, as in the diagram.

Mine seems to be giving me two per gear, so perhaps I can donate a few of my
spare clicks ;-)

Never tie your shoelaces in a revolving door.

Thanks for the tips everybody, I'll have a fiddle today and let you
know what I come up with.

I have flipped the thingy so I don't get any clicks at all, maybe they
have migrated to yours?
