Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Shifting Gears Issue

I recently put on a new KMC 11 chain on my Shimano 105 with 50/34 and a 11/28. I dialed in the H/L/B Screws along with the indexing, however in the 50 it has issues switching between the 21 and 19 sprocket and does not have any issue in 34. If I adjust the indexing any it throws off more sprockets. Thoughts? Thanks in advance for help.

Why did you mess with the adjustment screws? Especially the high and low limits? Change of chain shouldn't require that.

You probably need to go back to square one and set it up like you would for a new install. At least if you have no clue what you are doing.

Yep. Sure way to tell if your cassette is shot is to put a new chain on it.

Make sure the hanger and derailleur are straight. So many weird shifting issues are a result of poor derailleur alignment.

I did a fresh from scratch adjustment and am not an expert but understand how to properly do H-Indexing-L-B Screws.

cassette is roughly 1,500km old but I was pretty rough on it.

i will throw the bike back onto the rack and double check hanger alignment.
