Hey All!
Just recently bought a used 2012 DeVinci Milano (loving it!) and I'm having some trouble with the gears! I usually use my left shift in gear 2, and right shift in gear 1-7 depending on the hills/speed (I also heard that there are gear combinations that should never be used, is that true?!).
So when I'm on LS2 and RS6, 5, or 4, and I use a bit of strength to pedal, the bike kind of 'misses a beat', and feels like the chain missed a gear tooth. This only happens when I accelerate though, but doesn't when I'm at a steady speed.
What do you guys think? Is there something I need to replace? Is it something I can hold off to replace, if I go gently on those gears? I just recently got into riding, please excuse me for my lack of biking diction!
Thanks!
