I am having trouble with my bicycle when shifting from 5 to 6 (front sprocket 3 and rear sprocket 5 to 6).
When shifting from 5 to 6 (low to high) it takes several rotations until the gear actually takes. Essentially pedaling five or six revolutions without the gear engaging. It is not an issue for other combinations or shifting down from 6 to 5 (high to low). I do most of my cycling in 3 (front) and 5 (rear).
I am not sure what to tweak to fix it; or if it needs any new bits?
Chain is newish but when the chain was changed last the old cassettes stayed on.
