Alright, again I'm new to the road, although I've ridden some other bikes for years. Can someone take me to school on how the index shifting works, cause I really have no idea.
Thanks

I won't kill you, but I don't understand you eitherpistole said:- its a revolutionary thing that SHIMANO invented and was then copied shamelessly by Campagnolo.

No, not easily at least. There are some aftermarket eccentric pulley designs that allow you to change the amount of cable pull for a given amount of lever throw, but that won't change the position of the indents(clicks). I'd first make sure your derailleurs are properly adjusted. If you have too much cable slack in the front shifter cable for instance it will take a lot more lever throw to bring you up to the big chainring. The cable should be tight enough while in the small chainring that the derailleur starts moving as soon as you start to move the shift lever. If the lever moves a bit without any derailleur motion then it's likely your cable is too loose. If you're not comfortable making drivetrain adjustments then you should take it to your LBS and have them look at it.xenovier said:Is it possible to change the indexing space of the shifters?

Could be. Just to be clear, the two limit screws on the front derailleur limit motion of the derailleur. If the high limit screw is driven in too far you won't be able to get up onto the big ring. If it's too loose you'll overshift and drop your chain. I generally adjust the limit screws by first disconnecting the cable and checking the derailleur range of motion manually. I make sure the derailleur can move up and over the big ring with a little more than half a chain width of extra throw to make sure I can use the big ring/small cog combo. I do the opposite with the small chainring limit screw.xenovier said:... Could it be a manufacturing fault?
