Hi
I have a Planet X Rt-58D. Carbon frame with a Sram Rival groupset. It's 3 years old now with probably 15,000 miles. Chain and cassette are new (I think I am on my second or third cassette) - I've not changed the chain rings. I clean the drivetrain regularly with the Mickle method.
The issue I am having is that;
1. I set up the front derailleur as per instructions on YouTube. Aligning the yaw and all that. It's fiddly, but then it seems to be fine and changes perfectly both on the stand and on a road test.
2. The next day on my commute, or maybe a couple of days later, I will have a couple of awful front gear changes where the chain seems to get stuck or something
3. This happens then occasionally, maybe once a week, until a few weeks later one time I go to change up to the big ring at the front, and it won't. The derailleur is still moving and the cable is fine, but it seems to have gone out of alignment.
4. So back on the the stand and back to step 1 and it starts over again.
Any ideas on what is going on? This started maybe a year ago.
