andrew-<< This is the problem: Once I've shifted into
the smallest cog (using the thumb lever), I can't downshift (shift back
up the cassette into larger cogs with the inner lever). The ratchet
won't catch, and the lever swings all the way in with no effect. If I
push up and in on the lever, I can force the ratchet to engage and it
will shift from the 10th down to 9th, and from then on with no problem
at all. Any thoughts?
Thanks, >><BR><BR>
Sounds like the little tab on the shift lever assembly is not engaging the
front toothed bushing, which makes the rear rathet turn inside the shift disc.
'May' need a new shift lever assembly.
