Old School Grand Master
My last few rides have all been a bit messed up by the rear gears changing by themselves. The bike didn't do this prior to being put away for a time during the cold weather we had for a while. The gears were left small/small during this time.
To me, the shifter feels quite easy (too easy) to push. The gears always change themselves to a higher gear. Falling down the cassette then. I have done the screw up as tight as it will go.
Shifters are old Shimano downtube shifters in friction mode. Nothing has changed. I haven't worked on the shifters for a long while.
Before I start searching for a new set, is there anything I can try or check?
