Sanwa Road Bike. 10 Speed. Had for about 10 years. I only have one speed 5th gear. I know videos all over. I watch them and just can't get this thing correct. Thought I'd head here for help and I have a new Schwinn coming. That's pretty inexpensive also. Looks like a nice web site also.
Problem: Start with something simple. Getting from 5th to 10th. When I push the Front Derailleur by hand it snaps back. I can pull the lever on top of bike down to shift to 10th and the lever snaps back. If I put the bike in 10th the derailleur snaps back toward the bike causing the chain to go to the lower cog (5th gear.) Shimano stuff.
What would you suggest. Again I have watched the videos of lower limit and upper limit screws and that doesn't seem to be significant enough. I have tightened the cable from the lever to the derailleur. I was even at one point able to use the screws so the derailleur wouldn't even move when pressed by hand???
