Hi all
I have a GT aggressor 1 and its about 6 months old been out over the weekend and gears where slipping so gave it a full clean chain cassette but i took it all off the frame so i could make it nice and clean.
My problem is this i can't get the gears to set up correctly as they are the opposite to most gears i have tuned before.
1.)I have no cable and set the stopped screw to the largest cog on the cassette
2.) I then attach the cable and turn the adjuster screw to tighten the cable until it sits in the next cog.
The problem is that it never sits nice or correct i sure i'm being a complete n00b here and i do appolgise but i want me bike back on the road again so can any suggest what i do to get it correct. oh and yes i use a stand to adjust the mech :?

Ok if i get it right you have rapid rise.I have no cable and set the stopped screw to the largest cog on the cassette
set stop screw so mech is correctly alingned. attach cable. streach cable and re-tigten. shift through the gears add tension if needed. set the other stop screw.
it is just the same but the other way round."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
