The old shifters may be too weak for the new rear derailler.
I only installed a new crankset (3 rings, OEM replacement part, Shimano 42-24t), chain, and cassette (Shimano 11-34t 8speed). I did not change the derailleurs.
That is why I thought maybe I might need to replace the jockey wheels. This is the 2nd or 3rd time I have replaced the crankset, chain and cassette, since the bike was new in 2008,. The other times (using the same components as listed above) I did not have the issues that I am having now.
I don't really think that it is actually ghost shifting.
I think that I have a wider Q-factor now, I have no idea about the chainline. The bike is a 2008 Kona Fire Mountain/Xtracycle.
