Hi All
New to the forum - and new to commuting (at least some of the time) on my brand new Boardman Hybrid Comp. I've used this a few times and found it to be a great bike, light and quick but also feels robust.
However, when I change gear sometimes there are small delays before the change is made, also the changes can clunk a bit. I'm only changing one gear at a time - not trying to be greedy popping through several quickly etc and I would have thought the changes would be smoother. I took it back to Halfords and they were keen to help, made a minor adjustment as I wasn't hitting the smallest rear cog all the time. They thought the changes were smooth - I tried to explain that with my weight on the back and applying pressure etc was a very different test than simply running through the gears with no resistance/loading.
Please can someone advise me - are my expectations too high here? As the gears do work is this an indication that all is fine, or should I be taking it back to a different store and trying to find a more experienced fitter?
Many thanks for any help
