Hi all
I got a Marin Argenta last week, just got around to taking it out today.
Its got Sora brifters, the right levers are perfect, the left one is not.
The left brifter moves from big to small ring, but I have to put serious
pressure on the small lever to get it to move on to the small ring,
when I do this I hear a fairly loud click as I force the lever to the right
to engage the low ring there is no such noise off the brifter that controls the rear,
it clicks up and down with a gentle push and click.
I notice the front derailleur is well out over the big ring, and when I try to get to
the low ring although it changes with a lot of force, the derailleur still looks like it
shoukd move further in towards the small ring, if so is this also what is causing me to
need so much pressure to get the chain onto the small ring, or do I simply
need to move one of the two small screws on the front derailleur to allow the deraileur
to move inwards more towards the small ring.
I also note the derailleur and chain begin to rub when on the small ring with two
lower gears still left to change down to, so am guessing the derailleur needs to go
in a little, which screw does this of the two on the front derailleur, there is an inner
and outer one.
If any of what I wrote helps explain my issue, then I look forward to your advise.
Thanks
