Folks, I'm having some issues with a current bike rebuild.
The front mech is not shifting too well up into the large ring.
The mech has been positioned and the limits set correctly and it shifts to all the rings cleanly when on the work stand, as soon as there is any load on the chainset, i.e. riding the bike it won't shift up to the large ring.
Releasing the cable and manually pulling the mech shows there is enough travel to move over the large ring, once the cable is clamped there is still enough travel however when operating the gear shift lever it feels as if there is not enough travel in the shift leaver to get the mech to shift out to the large ring.
The levers are Shimano 8 speed stx, front mech is stx RC
Any suggestions?
