Preference for leisure road cycling with a real wish for more time to get out there . Looking to learn a lot about maintenance and repair instead of paying someone to do it all . 🤔
I have early Genesis 29’r I think it’s a day one has been a great bike but sadly been neglected for my preferred Ribble carbon road bike
the shimano Alivio 8 speed with tripe front mech has seized - tried lubrication but won’t shift down I think too corroded
I can’t find an 8 speed replacement mech
It’s a loW clamp on \ top swing \ top pull set up - probably close to 15 years old and all the products are now 9 speed
does anyone know where I can get an 8 speed replacement or can I fit a 9 speed without too much issues ?
looking forward to your insight
