Building up a Giant as a baby carrier. Lucky to find Pine Mountain as a donor so all DX and XT. Only issue is very stiff parallelagram (check spelling!). Shifts up through the cassette fine but doesn't return properly.

I've soaked it in degreaser and oiled liberally. Any other ideas? Any way to 'tighten' the spring?

Thanks all

Chris
 
Re:

Thanks, I've taken the mech off the bike so definitely a mech and not a cable issue.

Cheers
 
buy a new used one (maybe its taken a hit, and the parallelogram bits are now misaligned/tweaked and binding)
