my dolce elite was/is a nightmare with shifting! it started... just like you.. about a month after i had it.. took it in.. worked fine a few days.. then same problem..

it also drops off the smallest gear... A LOT! very frustrating when i'm dropping cuz i'm climbing a hill... sometimes it will go back on if i shift up.. sometimes i have to stop.. grrrr..

i finally resorted to new, better cables... it worked like butter for a while (but still dropped off)... but now it's back to wanting to grind...

oh.. it also used to hop (skip?) gears.. for no reason.. but that seems to be fixed with the new cables...

i've been told that specialized has some issues with their.. is it the crank? (the 3 front gear thingys?)

i've only had it about 8 months and i'm ready for a new bike that works smoothly!
