  1. My left ergo (record 10) is "popping" off the large chainring. It's a recent development. There's
    plenty of extra travel- it's not up against the FD limit and no problems in other rings. Have
    adjusted cable a few times and fiddled with adjuster thinking there might be some problem there-
    same deal all the time. Ergo is 2yrs old. Indicative of a worn shifter or are there other
    suggestions?

    Thanks-

    It could be a worn chainring. Look to see if the teeth are very thin, or if there is noticable wear
    on them. Compare the amount of wear to the other rings. You probably use that ring most of the time,
    right? Also, did you just put a new chain on? If that started the problem, I'd bet on a worn
    chainring.

    Check the wear in the chain and chainring.

    Spring in the front der now stronger than the springs in the ERGO, or broken spring carrier. In
    either case, find a good bike shop and have it overhauled. If nothing local, send it to me.
