I've been trying to sort out this issue with my front shifter/derailleur (not sure which is the problem really) to no avail.
For reference: They're Sachs New Success, downtube shifters, 6 speed, don't know if that matters since it's the front I'm having issues with. I've got a double chainwheel. I have the limit screws adjusted to what looks like the right limits; it shifts into the big ring fine, but it just won't stay there. It springs right back as soon as I let go of the shifter, putting me back in the smaller ring. Is my spring too springy? Cable too tight? Any other ideas?
Thanks!
