Thanks for the clarification. It would seem I've been using the right term (maybe sometimes not clear enough in my explanations).

What you describe below is exactly my issue. It showed up suddenly when I replaced the chain/cassette and I haven't been able to get rid of it (even when I put the old parts back on to figure out which of the new ones might have been faulty). Check out my thread(s) and you'll get an idea what I've been going thru.

Again, appreciate the help.

Cheers...Steph

the current trend to make click shifting work so early,
makes the situation worse, sooner
as the teeth have been shortened and shaped to make the shifting,
derailing, on & off the cogs easier..
