2lo8 - it's settling in position,
but it'll jam if i keep jamming on the cranks! I can shift out of it if I soft pedal.
I'll check the dish / out of true of the large ring this evening.
I am assuming that this kind of problem motivated SHIMANO to come up with ramps and pins (i think ramps and pins are a SHIMANO thing. I tend to attribute all drive train improvements to SHIMANO, correctly or not).
I didn't get my first triple chain ring until I bought a MTB in the early '90s. I believe those were always ramped and pinned.
Thanks all!
Well then... soft pedal when shifting. Why anyone thinks that shifting under duress is both the right way and should work flawlessly is lost on me.
Ramps, lift pins and shift gates are all about the chain climbing up onto or releasing off of rings and cogs and have nothing to do with the chain settling into the cog or ring. These devices are in response to riders who don't know how to shift well. Andy.
