Hi,
I bought a Hardrock sport 2007 towards end of last year, My first decent bike after having a fair few donkeys over the years, But my job moved offices nearer me so I decided to get a decent one as I would be using it everyday for an hour.
Couple of questions:
Bike has been ok until now, the rear derailleur when in the lowest gear (Smallest cogs back and front) chain won’t guide right onto the first guide cog as it comes underneath and up, its almost as if the gear mech tension has been loosened and they are sitting too far back, as a result in the very bottom gears as you ride along it feels like you are skipping cogs and I’m sure its wearing the derailleur cogs down. I’ve adjusted the set of screws that control the high and low gear movement limit and also the one on the main fixing thread that controls the movement of the whole unit but still same. In middle and high gears it’s no problem but that bottom few is annoying me now.
Anyone any ideas?
Second question is, as I’ve never had disc brakes before where is the cheapest place to get brake pads online?
Cheers
