Thus my question. If I can't find the info I need on here or elsewhere I will probably just have the LBS look at it. I only paid $150 so if I have to pay another $75 it's not the end of the world. I still have the other bike.
Ok fair dinkum. Wasn't sure given the lack of the info needed to answer your question. It is not uncommon for people to go for it themselves and then ask for help in fixing it which is fine.
If you are interested in specifics for whatever derailleur you have, you might post which derailleur you have and not just "it's a Shimano Deore" be specific so someone could help you effectively. Like Trek FXs, Shimano makes changes and different models to the same level.
