My front derailieur on new OTP bike is reluctant to shift onto big ring from the middle one. The limit screw is at its most open.
The bike had had a few months of light use, when it was new the chain used to get stuck to the chainring on downshifts but it never had this problem. Now I can down shift fine, but upshifting is a problem. Mainly but not exclusively when going uphill.
Most of the time if carrying good pedalling momentum it will upshift like there wasnt a problem, but uphill or even downhill where a good amount of pedalling momentum was not happening it refuses to shift up totally. Very annoying.
Chain is not rusty. The derailieur has not moved. I am using a friction shifter so poor adjustment aint it. Its really frustrating!
