Fixed that, did a little cable adjustment, a little limit screw adjustment and it’s good to go. While I had it in the stand I tweaked the spokes that needed tweaking to stop brake rub, and replaced the rear skewer. The old one wasn’t holding the wheel centered.
- And while we’re here a tiny rant about closed cage derailleurs. The open cage is such a wonderful invention. And too short lived.
