I have the dura ace 7900 front shifter and derailleur and after my shifting cables have been replaced I have noticed the following.



I cannot trim anymore. The chain jumps onto the big chainring with only 1 click. Previously I could shift into the big ring with 2 clicks.



I cannot shift into the small ring. Well I can but the chain stays on the big ring while I pedal. Only after I turn the cranks for a while the chain drops into the small ring.



I can rule out worn cables and housing since those were replaced right as this problem came up.



I have tried adjusting the cable tension with the barrel adjuster but that yielded no results.



Any ideas ?

  • Did you replace the cables yourself or have it done by someone else?

  • I wont be going back there Good decision. A bike shop that can't even set up a front derailleur to shift properly?

Sounds like you have a bit too much cable tension in your new configuration.



Usually cable tension is tuned with the barrel adjuster you mentioned, but if you cannot get the tension low enough with it, you'll need to loosen the bolt that attaches the cable to the derailleur, give the cable just a bit more slack and try again.

            White Anglo-Saxon Protestant

            Image
            White Anglo-Saxon Protestants ( WASPs ) are a social group of wealthy and well-connected white Americans, of Protestant and predominantly British ancestry, who trace their ancestry to the American colonial period. Until at least the 1960s, this group has dominated American society and culture and dominated in the leadership of the Whig and Republican parties. They usually are very well placed in major financial, business, legal and academic institutions and had close to a monopoly of elite society due to intermarriage and nepotism. [1] During the latter half of the twentieth century, outsider ethnic and racial groups grew in influence and WASP dominance weakened. Americans are increasingly criticizing the WASP hegemony and disparaging WASPs as the epitome of "the Establishment". The Random House Unabridged Dictionary (1998) says the term is "Sometimes Disparaging and Offensive". [2] [3] The term WASP is often used as a pejorative to classify their historical dom...

            Conflict (narrative)

            Image
            Conflict in narrative comes in many forms. "Man versus man", such as is depicted here in the battle between King Arthur and Mordred, is particularly common in traditional literature, fairy tales and myths. [1] In works of narrative, conflict is the challenge main characters need to solve to achieve their goals. Traditionally, conflict is a major literary element that creates challenges in a story by adding uncertainty to if the goal would be achieved. A narrative is not limited to a single conflict. While conflicts may not always resolve in narrative, the resolution of a conflict creates closure or fulfillment, which may or may not occur at a story's end. Contents 1 Basic nature 2 Classification 2.1 Man against man 2.2 Man against nature 2.3 Man against self 2.4 Man against society 3 History 4 See also 5 References 6 External links Basic nature Conflict in literature refers to the different drives of the characters or forces involved.
