My better half is having gear issues. She's got Force 1 levers with Rival 1 rear mech.
Shifting the paddle does nothing but when changing up, the shifting paddle goes slack after one shift but the rear mech doesn't move. Can't shift back up and catch the slack either, there's just no pressure in the shifter paddle either way once you've done it once.
It does eventually shift and then works fine albeit a bit laggy.
Normally I'd just change the cables but they're only a few months old, full outer so unlikely to be corroded, and only been used 4k each way each day.
Could the problem be in the shifter?
Or in the mech as its clutched?
Or just the cables? Maybe there's a tight curve or kink somewhere
