Yeah, RP for a few laps. Got lured into a couple of fast laps doing 2(ish)-up with a roadie (light blue Campag jersey). Decent bit of pressure applied to the drivetrain in 53/18-17-16-15 :)
Things are fine until I get to the 3 smallest sprockets. The shifter needs a regular nudge to stop it shifting/trying to shit to the next smaller sprocket. Something is out of whack - dropouts, mech hanger, mech - or possibly all 3.
I really need to get a diagnostic done, to know unequivocally which new bits are needed, but just can't be bothered. I'm not racing on that bike at the moment, so it's not critical.
