Shimano Sora Triple Flightdeck Adjustment

tferino

Hi all, after a bit of advice,

I bought a second hand Dawes Giro 400 a couple of months ago so am just getting into cycling, enjoying it so far and managed 60 miles yesterday.

However, I've a small problem with the chainset - it doesn't want to change down from the big to middle front cog or if it does, it takes ages. All other gear changes are ok.

Any suggestions as to what it is I need to adjust to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

This site http://www.parktool.com/repair/readhowto.asp?id=75 will give you all the guidance you need. I've got the same kit as you on my bike, nothing special or extra out of the ordinary you need to know to adjust it. 8)

Remember to ease off on the pressure on the pedals when you're shifting on the front rings, really helps mine along when it's changing.

Thanks for that Zanes, I'll review this and give it a go.

FWIW, it sounds to me like a cable tension issue.
