gears

This is my first attempt of changing the gear and brake cables on the Canyon. I just doing the index on the rear cassette and the big lever is shifting fine, but the small lever is not making a clicks and not changing gears. If i stop and leave it for 2 to 3 minutes then it works fine again...

Hi all, I did ask this in one of my other threads but thought here may be a better option,, My Scott Sub Cross 10 is fitted with the Shimano XT RD-T8000-SGS / Shadow Type / 30 Speed derailleur... Today I noticed that when I changed down a gear it worked perfect i.e small to large, but when...

I ride a 2018 Giant Defy 3, bought new on August and fitted with a Tiagra groupset as standard. Up to yesterday it has run trouble free. On my commute last night the chain started jumping between cogs on the rear cassette, usually down the cassette. The problem seemed to be worse when I put...

Hi, Recently upgraded to Shimano 105 r7000 about 3 months ago. All fine until a recent ride. Changing gears all seems fine, but shifted down to smallest gears on a long fast stretch of road and then it started skipping or slipping on certain sections of road where it became quite rough...

Hi there, anyone shifted from mechanical to electronic gearing on their road bikes? thanks

I came across this on YouTube. I have never seen one before. fast forward to 18.15 for the gear demo. View: https://youtu.be/Zh_zh2hf3XE I thought some of you might find this interesting.

I know about twist grip gears but how many other types of gear changing is there on a trike, im coming from a df which has integrated brakes and gear levers, I've been offered a trike with 27 gears twist grip style bit thus seems a bit much to twist !

The Elswick frame has landed, kindly sent to me by @Rusty Nails I’ve already got umpteen steel bikes with conventional gearing, derailleurs etc, so I’m looking to do something different with this one. I’ve had the hankering for a path racer style bike for a while, so this frame could be a good...

Got to go proper off road today for the first time in a while. I'd forgotten just how much of the forest floor (mud and bits of leaves etc) gets into the various nooks and crannies of the bike. Off road bit done, a few miles of road work to get home, I was all too aware of just how much filth...

I have an old Raleigh Ascender, from 1993. How hard and expensive would changing the gears be for a novice? found this run down of the bike specs online http://www.ply.me.uk/bits_and_pieces/bike.html would it be possible to go from the current 15 gears to 27 with nice low gears to help with...

The barrel doesn't seem to do anything could it be broken?

I am setting up a tourer ( this https://www.biketart.com/bikes-c1/frames-c33/ridgeback-panorama-deluxe-frameset-p12171) and having a nightmare getting my head around the gears. I am not a first timer, but also not an expert! Gear shifters are 9 speed Sora triple. I haven't got to the front...

I have had my new bike for about a month now and I have taken it back to the shop a couple of times as I am having a recurring issue of the chain slipping at the back when I use easier gears. It is a big problem in 1-3 and 1-2 (if I am using the right numbering 1 at the front) and I am going up...

The little black thing is not in main body and very hard to change also brake on this side not working any advice pls

The gears have been playing up a bit so now i've a work stand and my hand is well on mend. I thought i'd fix them after reading up and watching youtube. Once i'd given them a good clean and re lubed I moved on to indexing them. (full 105 group set) My issue is that I just can't get the rear...

This is a post to supply a possible solution if you encounter a (very annoying) clicking noise appearing to emanate from directly beneath you. If you find this before you start to fault find it might save you a weekends worth of pain. The annoying thing about this little issue was that I...

I am interested in your experiences using Rohloff, Nexus, Alfine, Sturmey. What distance have you traveled? How often do you service it? What do you dis/like about it? What made you choose one brand over another?

Hi As you know I have just got back on the bike after along time and for some reason I just can't master using the gears :( I seem to keep getting it all wrong and end up stopping! lol So, can anyone give me a idiot guide? I have 3 chain wheels at the from and 10 at the back... I have...

Hi, just another quick question if I may. Can anyone explain how I fit a gear cable inside a twist grip please? I am a bit confused and can’t seem to fathom out where it is meant to run and where to put the little end on the gear cable inside the twist grip. Please excuse my lack of...

I was in the market for a car so I popped off to the local dealer. I saw a car there, nice colour, it weighs about 1600kg. The sales guy told me about the different gear options: younger Sora, tiagra, and so on up to Dura Ace. He said each gear set weights 1kg less than each lesser model and...

Hello all, I've converted my Clements road bike to use as my commuter by cutting and flipping the bars so they are effectively bull horns for two reasons one I have always ridden mountain bikes with bar ends as thats how my hands/wrists are comfortable and two trying to brake with the GT levers...

Not just olive oil but extra virgin olive oil. :smile: I couldn't find my bike lube yesterday,so i put a spoonful of the stuff on the chain and gears. It stopped the squeaking and grinding,giving a smooth running sound. Have any of you used it on your tackle and if so what do you reckon?

Removed from Trek Domane with about 500 miles on it, so used but excellent condition Shifters RS 685 hydraulic brake, mechanical shift shifters, double front, 11 speed £150 the pair posted Front Mech for double chainring 11 speed, band on, £20 posted

Hi, does anyone know where I could get one of these, or similar? Thanks, Ian

I've had two punctures in three weeks and both times I managed to change the inner tube myself, although I struggled with the gears, but both times either immediately afterwards or within a few days I've found the pedals clicking as I go. I have an Ariel Sport Disc Step Through, with 27 gears...

Day dreaming about n plus 1 and I am seriously considering a Hub gear bike as my next one. The straight chain line and simplicity appeals to me . Not sure how to compare gear inches , I very much like to spin up hills rather than grind. Primarilly for long days on tarmac roads but with limited...

On One Pompetime 8 speed with Shimano Alfine hub , a very lightly used example . Finished in black paintwork with contrasting gold decals that has picked up a couple of storage related marks and some loss of paint around the bottom headset cup . Frame size 19" or 48.5cm measured from centre of...
