First a bit of history so i brought my Gazelle into the bike shop(community cyclehub) in Januari to service my bike with new cables, new sprocket full internal hub service and some internal parts. (i believe a dustcap)
The issue i was having was the sprocket was slipping so much the bike wouldn't move forward.
Worked all fine for the months after and about two months ago it started to go heavy in the 7th gear without clear reason,(edited to add this was in july, continually adjusting alignment worked somewhat) it feels like it's rubbing somewhere and the speed is down to what i would be expecting in 7 this goes along with heavy clicking, peddling back and then kick it forward seems to help.
I have since replaced the chain removed the chain guard entirely as a broken hinge on the back meant it was resting on the chain. I also swapped out the cassette joint (chain, cassette joint and cable was about two weeks ago) after these parts it worked for about two weeks and now it's back to the same issue. when i move the shifter around i notice the clicking sound is less(less loud almost no sound from 5 tot 1) whilst going down (From 7 to 1) when i go up it is equally loud in every gear. Also moving down from 7 to 4 shows and different misalignment then from 1 to 4.
So i'm looking for suggestions, bike shop is happy to take it but it takes obviously a lot of time i can't use my bike(as i currently don't have a spare) and it does still ride so for now i ride it i just hope someone can suggest an solution.
