shifters problem

green ride said:

What would cause difficulties in shifting? My shifters
(LX) are not as crisp and light. I have to push quite hard
to shift. Do I need to grease somewhere? Or are the cables
too long, considering they were originally on a
17.5-inch bike, but now on a 15.5-inch one?

Gunky cables and/or housings. You can try a little lube, but
better to replace with new (not that difficult; have someone
show you how if nec.).

Probably new inner wires and good housing will fix the
problem. The first and cheapest thing to do with
crummy shifting.
