This thread is getting kind of long, so excuse me if this has already been
mentioned, but has the derailleur cable and it's housing been replaced
recently? Over time some dirt can build up and cause friction, which can
cause poor shifting, especially for bar end shifters. Also, one time I had
If I understand correctly that the problems began iafter february, when you
had the cassette and chain replaced, I wonder if something was done wrong
or poorly, or even just different. For instance:
- Does the chain width (referred to by the number of rear sprockets it is
intended to work
sometimes a chainring gets bumped and half bent out of alignment

Caroline,
If you recently had the chain and cassette replace, then your problems with
the chain dropping may be because the chainring is worn. Most chainrings
are aluminum, which wears faster than steel cogs. And since the same
chainring is used for all riding while the cogs are changed by
Thanks Laing, appreciate it <3

I will take that as a no, the derailleur hanger was not checked. I would
make sure that the derailleur hanger was straight.

Thanks everyone! I had the chain + cassette replaced in February, both new
parts, so I'm assuming they both have plenty of life left.
The last mechanic I spoke with assured me the limits on my derailleur were
good. FWIW I've had the same Shimano 105 rear derailleur since I built the
bike in
Did the derailleur service include verification that the derailleur hanger
is straight?
Agree that it is unlikely to be a shifter issue.

Currently running 1x10 and friction bar-end shifting. The chain keeps
coming off my crank, not hitting the right gear in the rear, etc. I've had
the derailleur serviced, it's fine, etc.
Time to get a new shifter? Switch to indexed shifting? Switch to an 8/9spd
in the rear? The bar-end shifter
