It wasn't. I eliminated that from the beginning, there was no cable slack whatsoever at the innermost setting, and the low limit screw was set correctly. The Brifter was damaged. And as far as lightening up, do you even have a clue that you've been insulting me since the beginning of this thread? The fact is, after I disassembled the brifter, I could see that a piece of the cable pull mechanism on the brifter was sheared off so that the pull mechanism could not engage on the last click. It could only engage at the low gear, and low gear with trim settings. The next click up was not able to engage because of a sheared off catch in the brifter. That's what I was referring to when I said that the brifter was damaged.
