Hi,
When I have been riding on the flats in the same gear for awhile and then need to shift to an easier
gear, sometimes the lever won't shift. It is flapping in the breeze, doing nothing. The lever moves
ok, but it feels real loose and no shift occurs.
If I keep trying to shift and maybe play with the little lever some also, eventually I can get it to
work and then it's ok for awhile.
However, once I'm in the same gear for awhile it's the same problem again.
I was thinking of just squirting WD40 into the shifter and if it didn't get any better to replace it
with a new DA shifter and DA rear derailur. But I don't want to do this unless I have to.
The cable seems fine, I'm assuming the shifter is the problem, I could be wrong. Any suggestions?
Thanks, - Jim Strunk
