I have always had gear cables done at a bike shop, but they were too busy last time, so I had a go, It shifts ok going up but when dropping there may be 3 clicks before it moves down, I re set them on bike stand and it was ok, but went out today and its gone even worse you can shift down a few gears and nothing happens, then it may just drop 2 minutes later. Any ideas?
friction in the cable. Did you replace the outer also? You probably should have.
No I used the old sleeve, might start again and change everything. Knew I shouldn't have taken the easy route.
loosen the cable and then see how freely it pulls through the sections of outer - you only need to replace the sticky ones.
Cut them to a good length mind!
Thanks for your help, after a lot of messing. I decided start again replaced all ferrules and sleeving, on close inspection one of the ferrules was bent, don't know if it was this but it's running perfect again many thanks
