Struggling to find a gear.

Can anyone help with this?
Been struggling for a while with this now and now finally decided to do something about it.
When changing gears it struggles to select the gear with the first click of the selector so you have to mess about clicking up and down on the selector until it finally selects. This kind of gets annoying on the trials.
Anyone know how to solve this? I assume it has something to do with the cable.

Sounds like time to give it some love.
New cables could be a good start but a once over to look for anything damaged,bent,broken would be a good start."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Having established that nothing's damaged, and having cleaned the mech and the cables, I suggest you check the adjustment/alignment of the mech. You can get a copy of the instructions for most of them online, just follow it and things may improve!Specialized Roubaix Elite 2015

Plus it's a good skill to learn, and nothing is more of a PITA than dodgy shifting0
