Okay ladies, I'm at a loss. My front derailluer is being a big old piece of poo! I've had it adjusted, new cables, new housing, and the only thing they had left to suggest was that there was some "play" in the shifter itself and maybe to clean it and give it some tri-flo.
But I'm scaaaaared! I'm gonna pick up Zinn's MTB book, but has anyone else ever gutted their shifters? Should I suck it up and do it, or take it back to the shop and grovel? I'm apparently more mechanically inclined than I let on, according to my friends.
More importantly, does anyone else think this is the problem. I have to seriously romp on my shifter, hold it for days, and then it still doesn't always go. Not so fun when barreling down gravel fire roads.
