Hello Panthers, I do not have my camera with me at the moment, I'll post a picture tomarrow..But the Shifter is setup for 8 speed, I guess that is what I am trying to say..It is an 8 Speed bike..
It's not so much changing out the cable, The part that runs into the housing, the adjuster, has cracke..I can still chande gears but it slips..The little "nipple" that you use to lossen and tighten is just dangling off the side . I am going to the bike shope tomarrow and see what information I can get..I also plan on purchasing a basic bike maintenace book to help me out..
I plan on doing some touring this year so I want all the knowledge and info I can get abd by doing the repairs my self, I feel that would give me some knowledge on repairs out on the road..
I will post a picture tomarrow...
