  1. ok problem..... i dont have that black screw thingy on my rear deralleur. Ill try refitting the wheel. i also tried fixing it myself last night by adjusting the little black screw thingy on the shifter itself and the screws on the DR (the high and low adjustment screws), got it right to a degree, but then went back to square one. Btw: My Fuji uses Sram X9 rear deralleur
  2. cool, then itll go
  3. firstyly i have start putting more strain on the chain, i ride 3-6 hourse a week, so im past the recreational stage. ok now that thats done. I didnt touch anything in rgards to setings. ill try mamparas solution, because i couldhv made a booboo there. Or ill just take it in for the free service. The plastic thingy has to stay, as it protect y mistakes from getting the chain lobbed in the spokes
  4. cool, so do you think i should rather take it in to the shop then? btw im in mellville.
  5. aha, thanx man. Ill try that tonight. If i dont get it right, can someone near me not help me? and must i take the bike for a service? does the chain stretch and need readjustment, or am i doing that in this fix?
  6. Admins: People: My fellow hobbits. Just an idea, but can we not have somthing like a problem:fix board, where people post their problems and how they solved it. i.e. problem: gears dont wanna change right after washing at 170km's fix: adjusted screws blah blha blah etcetcetc dont you think thatll be a good idea and NO not a discussion thread on dissing someone else's fix, but a real help thread for newbies and cyclists in general. We dont all work and cycle shops and we dont all know everything, so i think everyone will benefit by it. what ya think?
  7. Ok guys, my first technical booboo/problem. Sunday washed bike and relubed chain. Washed bike upside down, but took wheels off. Did not take chain off. When dry, relubed and put wheels on and took for small test drive around the garden, so less than 100 meters. No the gears are funny. Meaning on the read wheels cog, it doesnt go into gear that easily (only some gears) and when on the biggest cog on the wheel and middle cog on the cranck then it wants to climb off into the spokes and that plastic protecter thingy on the rear wheel. Can i fix this? Is this my chain getting slightly worn and stretched? Keep in mind i only got the bike approx 3 months back and have done 160-170kms on it since new. Can i adjust the read derailer?(?spellling) DId i make the booboo? Thanx in advance for the help.
