Hey there bike forums member people! I had a bike up for sale, and I had somebody interested. In turn, I went down to the garage, put the bike on the stand and decided to fiddle with derailleurs. Now, my shifting on both derailleurs is berserk and I am totally frustrated an about ready to melt it down and pawn it off as good aluminum.
Essentially, my rear derailleur won't shift up with 1 shift, but takes two or three and then goes to that corresponding gear. It does shift down, though.
And then my chain ring shifts up through the rings, but won't shift down from the large to the middle without having to shift down to the small and up again.
Please help. I'm an idiot, hence the user title. And due to my idiocy, please be specific (i.e. turn this screw
in or, turn this barrel adjuster
out)
Thank you so very very much. The component set is rather old and kind of crappy. Shimano Altus. It's an 18 speed townie/touring trek something or other.
