bike looks new under the dust? shifters not working too well? the grease inside the shifters probably dried and and turned gummy. grab some wd40, liquid wrench or similar product and hose the inside of the shifter down. for older trigger shifters push the thumb lever upwards a bit and it will catch most of the time.
This is a good tip for those old, department store bike shifters--you know, the ones on the old, NEXT-brand bike that's been sitting in someone's backyard for five years, and now they want you to make it work again.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good one! Really hot water from the coffee machine will work when a degreaser doesn't!
