He DID mean "high" gear and sure enough adjusting the high limit screw did the trick.
Now, if any one is interested a little more reading.....
I re-set the high limit screw and the bike shifts fantastically right now. When I got it the bike it had a wheel with a 26" slick on it and another wheel with the stock tire on it. Both have 34t "mega-range" gears on them. After I adjusted the deraillure with the DIRT tire-wheel installed I put the slick tire-wheel back on and guess what. Yep, the shifting was off by one gear! I thought all the spacing on such things was standard. How can one wheel require a different setting/adjustment than another? Is it just that one is OEM and the other aftermarket?
