  1. I have recently had a problem with upshifting (smaller cogs), where
    the shifter will jump 2 or 3 cogs instead of one on a button push.
    Being very careful with upshifting (good hard push, then release)
    seems to help control it. Downshifting is fine.

    The shifter feels like its skipping over the index points, like if
    you're tentative with the push and hold the button mid-way; sort of
    like a ratchet skipping over worn teeth. It seems to happen mostly in
    the middle/lower part of the cassette.. but that may just be where I
    mostly run.

    Shifters are Mirage 10, about a year old with maybe 5000k's, on a
    Shimergo setup (shimano 9 cassette with hubbub cable routing)

    Anyone have an idea what's going on?

    Worn or broken G-springs.
    Cheap, regular maintenance issue; not a crisis.

    These shifters are Mirage QS 10 sp (2007) with the escape mechanism..
    do they still have G springs?

    Bump... no-one ever looked inside one of these beasties?

    Poking around this morning with the rubber hood off, I suspect that
    the tooth on the thumb shifter may have worn down.. but won't be able
    to confirm unless I pull the shifter apart.

    On the Campy PDf http://shrinkify.com/1j8 from Centaur on down there
    are no G-springs. To answer your question I think something might be
    ary with you Shimero setup. I have a feeling that the amount of cable
    pull is out of whack.

    nope... cable pull is not the problem. This is a setup that's been
    working fine for nearly a year. The thumb shifter drops down a
    matching number of multiple index positions for the cogs.

    I think I'll have to get into it and poke around.. which is a problem,
    as this is my commuter.. and N=1 at the moment.

    Crimony, there's one in every crowd...the internet etiquette know-it-

    listserv, you have the posting police.

    Sure...It repeats the question in a new message in case someone with
    an answer didn't see it the first time around, or didn't have time to
    reply. If they're using Google Groups, as many here do, or certain
    newsreaders, it will push the thread to the top with its recent
    activity. Obviously, this doesn't apply to how you read the group, but
    if that's the case, why do you bother replying? I mean you're
    obviously annoyed that your time's been wasted, so why not cut your
    losses and skip over the post?

    You misunderstand my concern. I do not explain it because
    I do not know enough of web based forums to do so. That is
    why I asked for someone who does.

    Yet all the time you spend telling people that they're internetting
    incorrectly is NOT a waste of time?

    You do not characterize my intent or means correctly.
    I asked someone who understands www forums to explain
    the difference to duncan. Why would you not explain it
    to him? Does `bump' server a purpose in usenet groups?

    Sure...It repeats the question in a new message in case someone with
    an answer didn't see it the first time around, or didn't have time to
    reply. If they're using Google Groups, as many here do, or certain
    newsreaders, it will push the thread to the top with its recent
    activity. Obviously, this doesn't apply to how you read the group, but
    if that's the case, why do you bother replying? I mean you're
    obviously annoyed that your time's been wasted, so why not cut your
    losses and skip over the post?

    Not so obvious. And I am not annoyed. I have said some things
    about what I am doing, and you ignore them; instead you make
    up things such as a concern for losses. Apparently you think
    I am engaged in a debate and have sustained losses. Losses to you?
