Quagga Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 If I sight from the rear the cage/jockey wheel has what looks like toe in...maybe but I'm not sure if I am imagining it. Think LBS needs to have a look.Only take it to a shop that has an Hange alighment toll, they are expsensive and not many shops keep them
love2fly Posted June 23, 2017 Author Posted June 23, 2017 Took it to LBS and they said it was bent....straightened it and should be good to go.If it is sorted I shall crow LBS name from rooftops as they did not charge me and did while I waited which I consider ever-so-awesome!
love2fly Posted June 25, 2017 Author Posted June 25, 2017 Riiiight, some feedback....Went for a ride this morning and barring a small adjustment, all good and problem solved! Turned out it WAS a bent hanger which was sorted out very kindly by Linden Cycles, while I waited nogal, thank you to Wolfgang and unknown colleague, you guys are awesome and did it while I waited.Thank you also to all those who contributed meaningfully, especially those who pointed me at the hanger....Will still change cables etc in the future as shifting could be lighter...As an aside, when installing new cables on my roadbike, I would very lightly grease the new cable and then wipe off - would this be right for MTB or just cable into casing and off you go?Cheers
porqui Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Don't replace cable and housing in the future - DO IT NOW. Guaranteed to make another noticeable difference.
love2fly Posted June 25, 2017 Author Posted June 25, 2017 I would have but when I looked out the window and all the bike shops had closes...Next ride is a few days away....But yes, thats a priority...made a big difference last time I did that on my roadbike.
