I'm at the end of my build and today I tried to dial in my index shifting. The bike struggled to drop from 2nd highest to highest (smallest) cog.
I changed both shifter and derailleur but exactly the same problem occurred. Then I noticed the hanger (dropout? - unsure of correct terminology) looks bent.
I'm reluctant to use the 'two adjustable wrenches' method as the bike is aluminum and bonded and I fear my heavy hand may do more damage than good.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a shop/frame specialist that may be able to help? I'm London based, so the closer the better as I'd rather not post it and risk further damage.
I'm not going to give up on this frame just yet as; it's the correct size for me, I spent hours upon hours polishing it, and I have been pulling my hair out collecting Suntour XC bits for it!
Thanks
