Gear Indexing

Hi all

Just been indexing my gears, i have a 2x9 Shimano setup.

I'm having a problem though, no matter what i do, the penultimate small cog keeps sticking when im changing back to the larger cogs.

I'vetried indexing, tightening cables and redoing rear mech limits, but its still the same..........can anyone help before i break out the hammer?

Have your derailleur hanger alignment checked. It doesn't have to be off by very much and it'll make your indexing act funny.

Make sure the cable is correctly routed at the dérailleur cable attachment bolt.
