Hi everyone, I am enjoying my brand spanking new Joe Appaloosa built up by Rivendell. Had it for about 6 weeks or so, I have put maybe 75 miles or so on it, most of them from the Nutmeg Nor'easter ride a couple of weekends ago, which was a wonderful 40 mile ride, Joe's maiden voyage I'd say.
Yesterday I was going for a short 6 mile ride and noticed that rear shifting was weird. I was able to shift from largest to next largest cog of the cassette, no problem, but as soon as I'd try to shift to the next largest cog (3rd from largest), it's as though the shifter took over and would shift all the way to the smallest cog. I'd then try to shift up one cog, but the shifter was resistant to light force, the amount of force that would typically shift up a gear.. If I tried to shift all the way back to the largest cog this would work. I have a triple up front, I tested out rear shifting in each of the front positions with the same results each time. I searched this group and the internet a bit, and it doesn't seem like ghost shifting exactly, it's not skipping or shifting a single gear on its own. It is ghost-like though in that it is shifting from 3rd largest all the way to the smallest cog on its own. I'm unsure if this is a Silver shifter issue (tighten the bolt?) or a derailleur issue (adjust some things). I plan to call Rivendell this week, but figured I'd tap the collective knowledge and experience of this group in the meantime. Any thoughts or tips? Thanks!
