Hello Folks,
My name is Girish and I recently bought Trek 4300.<br />
I experience below issue with the bike. Maybe something very simple to correct, but Im a naive to this.
Here is what I face:<br />
When I shift from 7th to 8th number, the chain does not immediately jump on to the smallest sprocket (8th gear). However it moves only if I paddle very light and if otherwise, I hear a chain sound with the sprocket.
I tried adjusting the cable tension. If I add more tension to the cable (moving the cable tension adjuster anti-clockwise) then when I shift from 8th to 7th sprocket, the chain actually jumps onto the 6th sprocket, and if I reduce cable tension (moving the cable tension adjuster clockwise) it shifts correct from 8th to 7th. However, in either cases, if I shift from 7th to 8th, the chain does not jump swiftly onto the smallest sprocket.
Please can you help?
Many thanks,<br />
Girish
