They looked for parts, and could only come up with a set of replacement levers. Problem? Dura Ace at $120 the set. I really don't want to add that much onto the project at this point. Are there sources of old SIS parts out there? Or, am I destined to ride clickless?
1. A possibilty
2. As long as the wheel is centered it's marginal
3. Yes, that could do it
4. 100% B.S. That 'play' is supposed to be there, it's a key reason as to why indexed shifting works the way it does.
Without being able to see it I'm going to say the upper jockey wheel is worn out or its a cable issue.
Do you know how to properly adjust S.I.S.?
