Your limit screw should not have any effect on the shifting in the middle of the cassette. Your problems sound like cable tension or a bent derailleur hanger or worn cogs in the middle of your cassette. Whether your derailleur pulleys have bearings or bushings isn't going to make any difference, although worn teeth may affect shifting.

Where did I say anything at all about the limit screw having anything to do with anything but to keep a derailleur from overshifting? While out on a ride I overshifted the rear derailleur. I caught it before there was any damage to the wheel but I did not want to overshift again so I readjusted the rear derailleur tension so that it would not overshift. That unfortunately screwed up the shifting so I had to ride in gears that were not effected.

Don't tell me you wouldn't do the same thing if you didn't have a screwdriver of the proper size to reset the limit screw.

Despite your long history of mechanical mishaps, you really went on a
bike ride with no tool capable of adjusting a tiny screw?

Why?? To save weight??


There is a reason that I was successful and you were a nothing that did nothing - I had the sense to know that simply turning an adjustment screw would get me back 10 miles where I could properly adjust things. People like you stop and block roads until cars get tired of your stupid bull****.


No, people like me turn the proper screw and ride on.

It sounds like you messed with cable length adjustment, screwing up your
shifting, when you should have messed with the limit screw and left your
shift levers in synch with your cog spacing.

Again: You should consider keeping your mistakes secret. You continually
tell us about your incompetence.
