Shimano GRX 810...
Front shift has become so heavy as to often need two hands to shift up to the big ring. Changed outer, cable and removed and cleaned out the mech. Cable and shifter move freely when unattached to the mech. It just seems like the spring is now too strong/stiff for the leverage system.
Next to the GRX 600 front mech on my other bike its night and day. There is only so much dismantling that can be done with it to clean everything out but a thorough lube resulted in no change.
£31 for new one.....or am I missing something simple?
