newbie question: what is "ghost shifting"?
Ghost shifting is when the gear changes unexpectedly, without actually
having initaited the change. This typically happens when in certain gears and the tension on the chain changes, e.g. when starting a climb - most likely when the gears are slightly mal-adjusted. I had this start to happen on my bike last year fixed by a service. Mark |

Sometimes the cure for this is a continuous length of housing from the shifter to the rear mech. Mike |
