FBinNY,
I had to post this, instead of sending through messaging, because I do not have enough accepted posts to be allowed to do so. I hope it is alright
Unfortunately, that is The Internet! Yet again, another awesome opportunity given to our species (I do not use Human- because it is sexist term) and we blow it up, I am an Earth & Beings Rights Person and live in unincorporated -jurisdiction split between nearest city and the county area, formerly a true Ag. area- Farming, now wild west area- dangerous, an illegal, let alone against codes, actions and nurseries haven.
So, far, spent more than an hour and a little over $60, and a lot better (new back gears, new brakes lines and gears lines and gear shifting works again), but it still attaches and releases when I stand on the petals to start going again. I already too it back, less than block and then they replaced the back gears. I do not have that sort of money, and I am now, thinking I might need a better mechanic (I recommended to them my former Independent Bicycle Mechanic who lost his home/work location), $60 (like 6-times what I paid before) and all they could think of, at that time, and still the catching and releasing exists. The shop's mechanic only adjusted Rear Derailleur settings, I am thinking maybe, need to replace parts to it or it all together. Plus, I know from past when all the catching and pulling and releasing going on erodes the gears clusters; so maybe the front gears need replacing to. Last thing is they have back gears for 18-speeds, while my bicycle is originally for 21-speeds, original shifting, just not original gears. You guys think, switching like that, without replacing the shifting handle bar's mechanism can contribute? Thinking of maybe, trying to find a CoOp Bicycle Shop, again.
Again, thank you, for your helping message.
