I'm rubbish at doing my gears.. Rear derailleur issue:
Just stuck a new cassette and chain on my bike - assumed I wouldn't have any gear issues, but now when I try shift to a higher gear (i.e. smaller cog), the chain just jumps straight to the smallest cog - completely skips over all cogs in-between. Moving gears up the bigger cogs is totally smooth and fine.. guessing this may not be an indexing issue..
Have tried googling and watched some indexing videos but can't find this specific problem.
Cassette is bigger than the previous in case this makes a difference. Veloce medium cage derailleur. Think my chain length is okay.
Anyone any idea what the issue is??
At the moment when riding I can get by by freewheeling as I change gear, i.e. shifting down, and shifting up a couple before starting to pedal to ensure chain doesn't jump all the way down.
