Hello,
Hell, I have an Sram X3 front derailleur on my hybrid bide. Unfortunately, it is stuck on the biggest cog and will not shift. I am not sure but I think that the derailleur has corroded somewhere in its mechanism. (The bike is only about 1 year old). I have ridden it a lot over the winter months and it has had a lot of muck and water on it.
The handlebar gear changing mechanism works ok and the gear wire moves.
Can anyone suggest a good way to get rid of the rust. I have tried WD40 and GT80 but yo no avail.
Thanks,
Nevica
