My 2001 Klein Attitude Race MTB is exhibiting sluggish, slow and terribly
imprecise shifting. By adjusting the shifter trim barrel, I can get it to
shift up, or shift down somewhat accurately, but not both. I can feel a lot
of friction in the shifter cables; and I can't seem to fix it. I tore the
cables out, cleaned the Klein cable housing/liners and replaced the shifter
cables about 200 miles ago; but shifting is still awful.
FWIW, I'm running full XT components, and everything is in good shape. What
is the secret to getting a Klein hardtail to shift right without radically
altering the cable routing? I scoured the web, and found nothing useful.
Is this just something you have to live with to ride a Klein?
Any help will be appreciated. I hope not, because I love this frame!
