Capricorn Posted September 28, 2013 Share his rear mech is vrek. maybe the spring broke? i think he will have to go single speed if he can't get the rear mech replaced or fixed in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelloKitty Posted September 28, 2013 Share Explain gone? on certain gear changes the jockeys pulls"up" and out of position, this movement is also accompanied by a clicking noise. we picked it up this afternoon, the derailer was reset. i think it's probably some minor adjustment that's needed - but alas, am completely incompetent in this regard.

HelloKitty Posted September 28, 2013 Share so it's fixed? nope - the lastest "jockey" issue has emerged since arriving home from bike shop and doing a few loops around the block to check all is in working order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted September 28, 2013 Share sounds like the rear mech has some cable tension issues. I'm sure you or your hubster can wing it: watch some youtube vids on how to adjust cable tension and you'll be high fiving yourselves in no time. Pity the bikeshop didn't do this check themselves. gummibear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg29 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Hi - hubby and I preparing for a Lourensford Spur tomorrow and his jockey has gone!!!!!!! Thought you were refering to his underpants!?!?!? Edited September 30, 2013 by Greg29 Lexx and Meezo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockCoach Posted September 30, 2013 Share Also check chain routing through the derailleur. I have seen some where the chain goes around both jockey wheels but is the wrong side of that little protective tab on the cage. should go straight from one wheel to the other without rubbing on any metal bits.
