Rogue15 Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 My front derailler stopped working for some unknown reason. I have to switch the left gear manually (aka: getting hands greasy by switching chain on front derailer, and adjusting front derailer so chain doesn't make annoying noise) I messed with the steel wire stuff, kinda tightened it, but that didn't really do anything different. I can still ride my bike, it's just annoying when i want to switch to a lower gear when i'm going up a hill. My right gear works though, which changes the chain on the rear derailler. The bike is a 15 speed Mountain Fury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasslera Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 .....How odd. I can find out tomorrow (maybe). I dunno, I'd have to actually see what the problem is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue15 Posted October 21, 2002 Author Share Posted October 21, 2002 more info on bike condition... i rode a few miles on it today, the gear feels like it keeps changing, the chain seems to be slipping on the grooves and then reconnecting, etc. I checked the chain, no links seem to be broken on it. (red: i did fly it down Kissel hill...the tires almost blew out and my face almost got frost bite. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue15 Posted October 22, 2002 Author Share Posted October 22, 2002 I suppose I have to fix it myself. *straps C4 to bike and throws it off cliff* oops. j/k I'm off to fix it. It's going to take approximately 30 minutes. it probably just needs WD40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted October 23, 2002 Author Share Posted October 23, 2002 well, i kinda fixed it...and then on the way back from riding up and down these awesome hills, i mess with the left gear and then the chain starts acting stupid. i think i'll get a pair of rollerblades. (ya right, i wouldn't have the guts to go down that hill with those on! it'd make for an awesome movie tho!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
