Front derailleuer problem.
#1
Hi guys. My front derailleuer is not shifting from the middle cog to the smallest cog and vice versa. Its trying to shift but it never makes a clear shift, very frustrating. Any quick fixes?

Why not try loosing the cable and re-setting it? Or better yet watch the instructions in the video on Front Deraileur's?

Problem sorted now. I bought a bike about 3 years ago and have never really used it,but ive pulled it out and have enjoyed getting it up to scratch, its never really gone far and there have been a few niggly things like rotor rub on the brakes and the gears, but ive actually enjoyed fiddling around with it, with help from the tutorials. Surprising what you can learn in a short time. Great site this is.
