Hi
Hope you can help,
When changing up from small cog, middle cog, large cog everything works fine, when changing down it drops from large cog to small cog without stopping?
Are my shifters knackered?

Thanks

As cooldad says most likely your cable.0

Thanks, I take it that the cable should be slack when on the small cog?0

Thanks, cable was too tight, all sorted0

I have a Specialised CrossTrail and often when changing down on the front ring, the chain drops off the inside of the small ring. The bike is fairly new so I doubt the cable has had a chance to stretch. I`m pretty certain it just needs minor adjustment to one of the screws on the front derailleur but I`m no mechanic....any ideas please anyone?
