I have had this bike for 4 years and ride 3-5 days a week, 15-30 miles a ride. To be honest I hadn't been involved with the mechanics much other than replacing the chain a couple times and going through several tires and many tubes. It could be very well the case that it has always been like this and I never noticed till I replaced these components and tried going through the adjustments I found online. I thought I understood the trim function, maybe I don't fully understand it.
