Space Cadet...(3rd Class...)
Hi all, this is on the whyte montpellier hybrid. I've been having some shifting issues in the lower 3-4 gears in both the big and small ring, needing a little extra push on the shifter to get it into the next lowest gear (biggest cog), also a little bit of chatter. I'd been fiddling with indexing etc for a couple of months including going back to scratch and undoing the cable, still the same. The chain has plenty of meat on it and only the second on the bike with about 2500 miles on it
A little background info. The bike fell over in the house and knocked the hanger out of line, I had it straightened and it shifted perfectly for the next 2 1/2 years. Despite this when in the big ring and in the lower gears you could see that the rear mech cage was pulled slightly out of line,(towards the inside).
Took it into the lbs recently and the mechanic put on a new gear cable and cassette. It shifted perfectly in the stand but under load the problem was the same as before. The mechanic said maybe the cage had been twisted over time.
The nuclear option is to replace hanger mech and maybe cassette.
Question 1. It has sram shifters on it, will any derailleur work with the shifters, i.e pull ratio wise, is that dictated by the shifters alone?
Question 2. Does this cassette look ok to you wear wise?
Sorry for the rambling nature.
