Yesterday it wasn’t shifting crisp on most cogs, however I wasn’t paying attention if it was only up or down or both. I feel like both.
I cleaned the bike, degreased and re lubed the chain and worked on the indexing.
It’s still not crisp on all the gears but it’s shifting better than it was, but the smallest cog it will not shift consistently to.
If I slam through all the gears with the bike in the stand I can get it to go, but if I start on cog 2 and shift to cog 1 it doesn’t want to go. Yesterday maybe 6 out of 10 tries.
I just wiped the chain down and tried shifting to the number 1 cog (smallest) and no dice. 5 tries and it wont go.
At this point i’m just going to take it to the shop. The front derailer is out of trim as well.

This is not a put down of modern systems; only a simple statement. I had a brifter bike in the mid nineties and liked it enough, Before and since only downtube shifters, and never more than eight cogs in the rear. I can navigate almost everything I come across on my USA rides. Think 'The Storming of Thunder Ridge'. Here, in the land of 5% grades, I go entire rides without shifting.
