My elderly 6700 FD and RD both started playing up probably after being left dirty and pretty much unridden since Festive 500.
FD gummed up so bad it did’t move even with cable detached but new cable and flooding with cleaner sorted it. Both RD pivots also gummed up and not moving freely leaving chain slack and sagging. Might be a candidate for a full dismantling and a deep clean but Plusgas got it moving again.
