Hello gurus!
I am having a problem with the shifting of my Shimano Deore 9-speed
rear derailleur. If I have been shifting up, and then need to shift
down one cog, I need to shift down twice (or, two index clicks, so to
speak) to go to the proper cog. Likewise, if I've been shifting down,
and need to shift up, I have to shift up (two clicks) twice to get to
the desired cog.
I've attempted to clean, oil, and adjust the derailleur according to
Barnett's Manual. Also, FWIW, the shifters are stock, and I've cleaned
and lubed the inner wire. The Guide and Tension pulleys look to be in
good condition, but I suspect the problem may lie with them...
I am seeing about 1 mm of axial play on the Guide Pulley (labelled
Shimano Centeron G-Pulley). The tension pulley has no more than 1/2 mm
axial play (labelled Shimano Narrow). My theory is that when I shift,
the guide pulley is simply sliding over rather than forcing the chain
over to the next cog.
Is that much axial play standard for these pulleys and do I need to
look elsewhere for my problem? Or should I replace the G-Pulley? Not
that a pulley is big bucks, I just don't like fixing things that aren't
broken!
Thanks for any assistance,
GW
