UTFS'd and couldn't find anything relevant enough so..
I'm running circa 2008 10-speed Record and recently have noticed my rear mech making a fair bit of noise (just from road buzz) when it's not shifting —*then I went for a long ride yesterday and my gear indexing is all over the place and the right Ergo shifter has lost all it's positive "clicks" - making it hard to make precise shifts.
I know that it could be any number of things —*my immediate thought is that the lever needs an overhaul, but the only thing that makes me think it might be an indexing problem is that when I last road the bike 4 days previously the up/down shift was quite crisp.
Bike did sit in the car on the way back from Wales in between so it's possible that the rear mech was knocked out slightly during this process but it looks unbent and straight to the naked eye.
Any thoughts? Is it possible the cables have been stretched leading to a loss in tension and therefore the 'clicks' or am I looking at something more complex and expensive?
