Hi everyone,
I recently bought a new (to me) bike and I'm having a little trouble with my rear derailleur. It doesn't change gear easily, despite many attempts at adjusting it. The problem seems to be that it doesn't move far enough when you change in the opposite direction to the previous shift. So, for example, if you change down 3 times it moves across fine but if you then try to change up it doesn't move far enough to change to the next cog. The same happens in the opposite direction. I don't really know what to make of it but could it be the lever itself and not the derailleur? Any ideas?
