Help with ergo 10 speed levers
I thought I would take my bike (new last fall 250 miles on it) out
for a spring test run, even though there is still a fair amount of snow on the ground. When I tried to shift to the smallest two cogs, I discovered that I had no more "clicks" left. The system shifts up and down the remaining cogs with no problem, but its as if I am missing the two bottom rachets. Any suggestions? 250 miles seems too early for a rebuild. Thanks. dale b |

Got a little cable stretch thing going. Take your bike back to the shop and have them do a complimentary 250 mile tuneup, which will mostly consist of tightening your cables and lubing your chain. Speaking of lube, I'd recommend Slick Willy Bike Lube (http://www.slickwillylube.com/). Great stuff, lasts forever, and the inventor is a teammate of mine. Lee |

If you mean you can't reach the two inside (lowest) gears, ensure that the first click moves from high to the next gear. (if the gear wire is loose, the first click does nothing) If you mean you cannot return to the two outside (highest) cogs, shift to high in front and get your head behind the changer. See if the cage is roughly parallel to the chainrings. A bike that's been dropped on the right side will show a changer that's canted inward at ten, twenty, thirty degrees - enough to show your symptom. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |
