Ok, i decided to replace my shifters and rear derailleur. Got some advice from a person on here and I tried cleaning mine and nothing happened, still has issues. Chain is in great shape, everything is good and clean. Also, I think my rear derailleur is bent, i cant really tell, but the problem happens only at a certain point when the derailleur is moving outward. It will not go any further.
I have read that when a rapid fire shifter is acting like mine is, to replace it. My friend said he can get a really good deal on SRAM X.9 shifters and rear derailleur for 110.00....cheaper than what i have found so he is picking it up for me. I have the Zinn mountain biking book coming and am wanting to know what tools and or spare parts that i will or should have for the job. I want to have the tools by the time i get my manual in. My cables seem to be fine, no frays or anything...Can someone give me some info. Thanks
Mike
