This one's got me stumped and I'm just not sure if I'm missing something.
Iv got a shimano 105 rear derailleur, it's properly set up and indexed. Even had the cable changed recently.
when it's set up on a mechanics stand or on my turbo trainer at home it works perfectly.
Problem is when I'm riding the bike and have the rear derailleur on the biggest cog it's JUST clipping the spokes...
when I have it set up on the turbo trainer it hangs at least 4mm away from the spokes
Im thinking maybe my body weight is buckling the spokes outwards? But I only weight 10 and a half stone... also iv only had the wheel 3 months.
anyone had a similar problem? Any ideas? Am I missing something obvious?
thanks
P.s. The lower limit screw can't be adjusted anymore without loosing the lowest gear!
