Even after an adjustment at the LBS, it will soon not want to downshift - either it will delay too long or not downshift to 6th at all unless I nudge the shifter over a little extra before releasing. It upshifts (to smaller cog) just fine.
This sounds like a cable problem. The Volpe may need a new Cassette but I don't have the problem at all. This does not sound like a high/low problem but a cable adjustment.
