Sora Shifters: Trek 1000 Stock, Year 2005 Sora 8 Speed with "Tweaks"
I have a problem shifting in the front derailer or front shifter. I am a newbie but have been riding for about 30 min everyday for 2 weeks. I am having trouble shifting. I cannot with any consistentcy shift down to th middle gear. When I shift up from the smallest gear to the middle gear, I have a much better chance of hitting it. To Shift up, I usually push the left brake halfway in to get that. My question is, should one full short click down on the lever shift down to the middle gear on the front crank? Or should I be using two full clicks. I cannot seem to get any combination of lenght and Number of times pressing the lever to get down to the middle gear.
I've brought it back to my dealor and he has worked on it several times. I've had front shifting problems from day one. When he puts it up on the bike holder without weight, You can press on the lever once and it shifts fine but once I put weight and ride it, this problem occurs. Could the Front shifter or Front derailer be bad?? Is there any adjustment anyone could recommend to solve this problem??
