    Oh and Halfords built the bike for me.

    Thanks for the replies. My bike is definitely a Team (I didn't think the Comp was available in the UK?). There are no frays or kinks in the cable that I can see and I have adjusted the limit screws etc. I really wanted to know if a stiff front shifter was normal, which it appears it isn't.

    Mmm, the plot thickens.

    First post!

    Been looking for information on the Boardman CX Teasm for a while, took me ages to find this. I purchased one 4 weeks ago, great bike. I have one question for owners, how is your front mech changer? The force that mine requires to shift from little to big ring is enormous, it takes all my strength to shift it. The spec says it should be an Apex from mech, all mine says on it is Microshift, is this correct?

    I have tried adjusting the mech, it all looks OK but is still really stiff, I reckon some riders wouldn't even be able to shift it. Just wanted some feedback before I approach Halfords for an answer.

    Thanks guys.
