gears

Having spent weeks trying to snag a jumping chain on my Steel road bike, I finally spotted that the jockey wheels on the 9 Speed Tiagra derailleur had lots of lateral play, espacially the one closest to the casette. Having given the chain plenty of attention to remedy stiff links, finding the...

hello, I changed the gearing on my bike from original 9 speed road bike setup to flat bars with MTB cogs at back with MTB shifters. I now can only use the lowest geared 3 cogs before the chainline goes wrong. I then have to shift up to the middle chainwheel which can only mange 2 or 3 cogs...

I want to check the b tension screw on my mid 80s British Eagle MTB. It has 18 gears - 6 Uniglide rear and 3 elliptical Biopace chainrings. Which gears on the rear and the chainrings is it best to be in when checking and adjusting the b screw? Thanks for any advice.

I am having trouble getting 3rd gear on my Brompton Sturmey Archer hub gear to engage properly. It does eventually engage, but only after a minute or two of clunking and slipping between gears 2 and 3. Is there an easy way of fixing this?

Yesterday, I spent the day on a road bike with friction lever gears, and they worked perfectly. These are the gears I used for years and years in the 1980's with few problems, I enjoy the new(ish) style gear lever on the brakes, but please remind me, what was the problem with friction lever gears.

Hello All, I want to get lower gearing on my tourer. Not sure whether to go for a cassette with 36T lowest cog or an inner chainring, say, 24T, on the triple. Are there any mechanical issues that I should be aware of before buying? I.e., which route do you reckon would cause less set up...

Here's the background - the bike is a Specialized Secteur (2012) with Shimano Tiagra shifters, and a 9 speed cassette. It was running fine on the original rear mech (Tiagra medium cage) coupled with an 11/26 cassette (or something close to that - it's been binned). I decided I wanted a lower...

Above-mentioned book received this morning from Dec66, so I'll get it read asap and hopefully be able to post it on next week when I'm back in England. If anyone is interested, I'll raffle it Wednesday 13th Jan. so I can get to a post office in good time. Dave :smile:

I was asked this today by a local guy who had just got a road bike, and to my shame, I really couldn't give him a simple answer. He said his gears were Shimano but, at the time, I was on my Campag Veloce bike so a demo would not have been entirely relevant. I think he really wanted to know...

How do I stop my heats slipping. It's not all gears only 2-3 but a little irritating. They are sora 9 speed shimano gears on a used bike I have just bought.:bicycle:
