Dear Cycle Chat experts
Front derailleur issue... now, I know all the tutorial vids online, I've even pointed people here in that direction myself.
Bike has been in (not so) local bike shop twice in recent weeks, and it's really difficult for me to get there, so don't want to take it in again.
First time was gears and wheel issue, second time was bottom bracket. Gears were working fine, but today, went out and had problems changing front derailleur down... on the FLAT, it changed no probs, but trying to change down on any slight incline, meant that it wouldn't change down... cables are fine (nearly new), mech is in good nick generally... I can change down in anticipation of the incline, but I end up spinning like a madman...
I've sorted low limit and high limit, and taken out slack in cable (no barrel adjuster, unfortunately), but it's...well, I've explained the prob... any ideas? Must be some TINY adjustment somewhere, as it changes OK on flat.
