Hi,
I'm not knowledgeable with bike mechanics but I'd like to learn now rather than take my bike to the shop. So my bike has 27 gears 3 x 9. I've noticed that on the 7,8,9 on the right gear shift the chain or rear assemby doesn't flow quietly, it's making a sound that I can only describe as someone having thrown some grit in the works. I've cleaned the assembly, wiped off excess grease and relubed (TF2 from man in shop) between rides so it can't be a rust issue., could it be an alignment issue? It means that gear 7,8,9,16,17,18 and 25,26,27 are really unenjoyable at the moment.
Thanks
Matt
