Sram Shifter Shenanigans

[Kalahari Vegmot]

Ah, I’ve reassembled it now. It was a bit of a pain to take apart because the bolt through the bottom of the thumb shifter has a square hole, and I had to use whatever I could find to hold that in place to loosen the allen bolt holding the shift plate and cable holder in place. Also, I see the end of my cable has snapped off at the derailleur clamp, and I don’t feel like replacing it now, so I did it all without taking the cable out. A bit awkward. I might be able to do it again later if you still want them, though I really don’t think you have any problems there. Everything looked the same on mine − same assembly, same tooth placement, direction, spacing, etc.

 

What derailleur are you using? And cassette? Would you care to upload pictures of those?

 

I’m guessing you’re encountering this problem setting everything up from scratch, and it’s not a system that has been working for some time and suddenly gone wrong?

Nope, I used it on a new setup; it came off a bike because it was slipping-some genius thought it was a good idea to flip the plate around...

 

I used it with a Shimano 9sp 11-32 cassette and a 9sp X9 rear derailleur.

 

 

Thanks guys, at least I know the shifter isn't the problem; I'll go search my problem elsewhere.

Try a cycle shop.

Dis nou 'n twarra antwoord.

 

If I had to rely on a bikeshop for repairs, I would have a broken bike in no time.....oh...wait....I did have a broken bike because of the "cycle shop"

 

Stop being lazy and fix it yourself if it is fixable.

 

Rant over.

I'm guessing that your issue is a bent RD hanger

That would be my same guess.

Try a cycle shop.

I'm assuming that was meant to be in comic sans...?

Throw away and get Gripshift.

Almost had to pull out of the Epic because of gripshift.

It works until it doesn't.  It does NOT like mud.
