If you are still under warranty from shimano (1 year) return it to the place of purchase. Otherwise you can order a new gearbox to replace the old one, and any local bike mechanic should be able to effect the replacement. -Rando |

Here we go:
http://www.shimano.com/publish/conte...0by%20Gear.pdf "It is possible for the large bearing retainer to get damaged when installing the internal assembly back into the hub shell after service. If a bearing gets wedged under ring gear 1 and it is not able to freewheel then the bike will not pedal in 5th-8th gear." That sounds like your problem, and if it is just a wedged bearing it should be easy to fix. -Rando |
