gday fellas,
im taking the bike in for its service tomorrow, ill tell them all about it, and hopefully they hand it back running smooth as silk. i had a look at where the chain was rubbing through the gears today, i have a feeling it is as simple as adjusting the FD rotational angle.
that parktool website is rather good, i recon if i did my homework n spent enough time on it i could prob work how to fix it.
thanks guys for all the help
to think my 1st reaction was to fork out money and upgrade components! sheish what was i thinking!
cheers

BTW, some of their links are seriously messed up!

Okay, got you now. The URL and multi-page format fooled me into thinking it is part of a different set of docs. Thanks for the patient explanation.
