I am pretty new to cycling and have an old Trek road bike. Been out for a few times and putting some miles on it recently but coming home the other night I noticed when I tried to click left hand shifter nothing happened. I limped home and had a look. When I acctuate the shifter lever and little thumb switch the cable tightens and slackens but the deralieur that the cable is attached to(on the centre post??) does not move at all. I thought about releasing the cable but I cat get into the allen bolt as the big gear at the pedals is in the way. Can I fix this myself or does it need to go to a bike shop? I dont really want it to be stuck in a shop for days on end. Any ideas?
