Got myself a nice new Deore m5100 rd, I’m pairing it with a Microshift left hand thumbie mounted upside down on the right side (Grant Peterson style) but I don’t seem to get enough cable pull to get through the full range of my cassette.

The setup worked fine on my prior rd, is there a cheap workaround to this I.e a jtek shift mate? Or am i going to need to start looking for a new thumbie?

What was the prior RD?

Stx rc 7 speed, so definitely a shorter pull

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
