This is a good exersize is trouble shooting. Some have talked about the derailure (and angle/limit screw/height0 and some about the shifter pod function. I still haven't read a post that discribes what's actually going on. It's a simple process to work the derailure seperate from the shifter (and the pod from the der.) to discove which works or not. So which is it in this case?
Some times it's both that are needing service but some critical thinking is needed here. Pull the cable along the DT run. Does the der. shift more or less. Remove the cabler casing from a stop and work the shifter with a hand on the relaxed cable. Does the pod index?
This isn't rocket science. Simple cause and effects. Andy.
