I recently re-cabled my rear derailleur. I adjusted the indexing and
got it working perfectly on the work stand. But when I'm out riding,
the derailleur will, from time to time, spontaneously shift to the next
smaller cog. This is not a case of BB flex causing ghost shifting. It
occurs under normal, easy pedaling, and I'm riding one of those older
Cannondale frames with the huge down tube (very stiff).
Each time the problem has occurred, I've stopped and tightened the
cable tension a little bit with the adjuster at the derailleur. It
seems to help each time but then, an hour or a day later, the same
thing happens. The chain is not "stretched," and I'm running all
Shimano stuff: Dura Ace shifters, Dura Ace chain, Ultegra cassette, 600
cranks, 105 short-cage derailleur. Nothing is worn, and it's all
clean and lubed. I've never had this problem before, despite having
re-cabled the bike a few times.
Ideas, suggestions?
