I've been noticing that in sub 32F degree weather, my commuter bike's 7-sp Deore LX rapid-fire
shifter stops working during upshifts (ie. shifting to an easier gear). It seems as though the lever
doesn't 'catch' anything... as I can push it all the way without any clicks. I've tried tightening
whatever could be tightened to no avail.
In warm conditions, it will do this on rare occasions, but just about 100% of the time in cold.
Is this a symptom of a dying shifter that needs to be replaced? It's about 8-9 years old with
5-10K miles on
it... cosmetically fine, no problems with the left shifter.
Once the bike 'warms-up' indoors, it seems that the shifter is working once again.
Thanks.
