Although it only has 1 year, 3200 miles, I want to try to take it apart and make sure everything is lubed. If that doesn't work I will try to see if it is the chain that is the problem. Anyone know exactly how I should do this? Should I use the standard lube/grease used on hubs on all the pivot bolts or just the pedros spray lube I use for my chain?
What spec/brand is it. Sometimes asI understand it the lower end front derailleurs cause problems. These are not expensive to replace. Depending on what you have you could replace it with something of a higher spec. Does not seem to have the same effect on the rear derailleur
