Hi,
I turned up for a sportive at the weekend got a mile down the road and hit the first hill so I hit the left hand lever to change down to the small ring on the front and nothing happened. The battery was charged and the rear mechanism worked perfectly. I did the whole event without a small ring which it turned out wasn't too bad as the course was fairly flat. I am due to do a very hilly ride as part of a half Ironman in a month though so I need to get it sorted.
So, back home and with the bike on the stand I started to investigate only to discover that it now works perfectly. There does not appear to be any wires loose and I had not touched the bike so I now have no idea what was wrong but feel uncomfortable with the thought that the thing can just stop again when it feels like it.
Any ideas what could have happened?
Cheers
