Just changed bar grips and had to move shifters in by about an inch. Gears now playing up.
I presume that by moving the shifters I have loosened the cable runs to rear/ front derailleurs?
What's the quick fix? I am a dummy in regards to maintenance.
I thought you'd changed the angle of your shifters and had something really whity to recommend. Never mind.
Unless you've disconnected the cables, it's unlikely to have caused a problem. Check that the shifter bodies aren't being pressed upon by the brake levers, and the cables are seated properly in their stops.
Definitely not disconnected any cables. Just slid the bodies further towards the stem.
Sounds like the chain is rubbing on the front derailleur, and I now can't shift onto the biggest cog on the rear cassette.
Are the shifters or the windows pressing against a curve in the bar?
Or your out cables are too short, but it shouldn't be that much different

Absolutely this.
You could take the shifters off the handlebars and they should still work.
If you're having trouble getting onto the big ring, then the only thing I can think of is that your outer cable end wasn't seated properly and now is, effectively shortening the cable.
If this is the case then unscrewing the barrel adjuster may be enough to bring the gears back into alignment.
Very unlikely scenario however and not one I've come across.
Praise the Danes for the insight and imagination gifted to me this evening through the power of export. 😀
