Hi guys
Well I'm new to this forum and also new to bike maintenance. I have owned mountain bikes before but have never know a lot about repairing them
I have flicked through a lot of pages of the forums and saw that no one else had a problem exactly like mine.
So my brother recently told me he had a bike being neglected for a few months and I told him I would take it off his hands and have a go at repairing it, after all whats a few minor repairs compared to the price of a new bike?
Well my main problem with this bike is The left gear shifter is completely broke (needs to be replaced) which I can usually cope with except for one thing... I can only access 2 gears on the right gear shifter, 1 & 2.
I saw the video tutorial for the rear derailer and had a go at fixing it only I have made it worse and its stuck in 2nd gear and won't shift up or down.
Please can someone give me some advice on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance
