I'm new when it comes to bike mechanics and currently trying to get my fitness up by riding 20 - 30 miles per week.

Around 6 weeks ago I had my gears altered by the lbs and they changed very smoothly but how there struggling a bit changing from the mid to the big front cog.

Should be this expected after every few weeks some alteration will be needed ?

Alternatively does it suggest the gear system may been replacing/upgrading ?


SHIFTERS Shimano Deore 27 speed
FRONT MECH Shimano Deore
REAR MECH Shimano Deore

Thanks

    the cable tension may need a tweek.

    have a read of the how toos on Parktools. this is presuming you have not had an off or hit anything.
    "Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
