  1. Alrightie. So I'm wondering if you guys can help me out. I'm currently riding a Specialized Allez with the good ole Sora set up for shifting/derailers. Here's the problem: Despite all my attempts at adjusting/greasing the cables I'm never able to move freely through the 3 cogs. It's either the bottom two or top one, but very rarely anything in between. Depending on terrain and distance I've been stuck choosing prior to the ride and dealing with it. Any ideas on how to make any other adjustments or what the problem is? At first I thought it was just that the cable kept slipping at the front derailer but I've tightened it a million times with no success. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. 🙂

    I'm assuming you are talking about a triple front chainring?? Also assuming the FD is not worn out,buggered or defective or you do not have cable/casing issues or bad shifter,it's all in proper adjustment, position and alingnment..www.parktool.com has the drill.Start at the beginning.

  3. Or take it to your bike shop.
