Re. my mech - I've been put riding on it all day and we noticed that the derailleur bolt thing had come very loose. So that was definitely a factor. It's still not shifting perfectly though.
@dancing james yeah, it won't shift when I'm in the big ring. If I shift from lowest gear up one nothing happens until I shift up a second one. If I shift from 3rd lowest to 2nd lowest nothing happens until I shift to the lowest. So it's not something that the barrell adjuster will fix.
@carson it's 50/34, 11-36 (don't judge me, it's windy and hilly up in Scotland!). X9 2.1 long cage mech.
It's rideable - I never ride in 50/36 obviously - but like I say I'm wondering if something is bent somewhere. I'll take another look at it and see if I can figure it out.
