When i go into the big front ring it takes a lot of fiddling with the lever (touching 1 way and the other) before it will step back down again. All the other changes up and down are fine, it is just the big down to the middle. I have tried a bit of fine adjustment on the cable and the cage but nothing seems to make any difference. The lever it self seems slightly lose compared to the other changer but i can't see how to tighten it. Anybody got any idea what is wrong and what i can do to put it right? |

A good local chap should sort it, and give you the top tips for future adjustment. my 105's struggle to get onto the big ring, but do come down easily! |
