the limiting adjusting screws can only move it into 6th gear. i could get a larger screw but are there other things i could adjust to get it to be in a lower gear and stay in that gear.


reason being atm the tension spring on the deralleur is busted and so it is defaulting into 9th gear.

mongtastic. want to hear TGM's suggestion, well if not I'm going to tell you anyway. don't ride for a week, and buy a new derailleur in that time, you don't live in south auckland do you. you shouldn't have to adjust gears with a screwdriver. and JuSt 4 u kcidS OWWW PWWWN....

what the hell? look at all the superior people! the only way to feel big is trashing someone else. way to go.

kingbooker: are you sure it's the derailleur and not the shifter? is it going for the big or the small gear?

Everyone is trashing him because of this http://www.vorb.org.nz/ftopicp-1915498.html#1915498 ssipface, this is nothing to do with feeling big, but teaching a drater a valuable lesson in etiquette. Clearly we are not moral gods such as yourself.
