Hello Ladies

Ok, i finally got around to cleaning and looking at my bike.

I *think* one of the problems with the shifting is the front deraileur rubs right against the chain at about gear 7 (or 3rd gear up from smallest cog if you will ) it does the same thing in either chain ring in the front. if i shift down one, and up again it will go, but i think its more of shake that happens so it goes. it also doesn't stay in the next gear hopping right up to the top cog.

I don't see anything too disgusting inside the shifters, but i haven't actually taken it apart.

I definitely need to shim - i am so glad i found out about that from the other thread. and new pads. yeesh.

My bike is going to the shop tomorrow for some tweaking...

thanks everyone!
