Trek 1000, Year 2005
I've had a problem with the front shifter or Derailer. I am new to road biking. When I shift (front Gears) down I always miss the middle gear and When I shift back up I miss the middle gears. I think the problem is when I shift down, I push the brakes in all the way, or when I shift up I push the lever down all the way. Should i just be pushing the brake or Lever just a bit to get to the middle gear? The Trek Dealor says I've been shifting all wrong. I should be only pushing the brake in just a bit or the lever just a bit to hit the middle gear. Does that sound right?
