It definitely shifts into the big ring with my fingers.
It's basically new, barely 200km on it.
It's a Verenti Substance 2016, which I got very late in the season last year.

In fact if I slacken off the lower limit screw completely, the cable fouls the derailleur, and almost seems to contribute to the problem. Ah, my bad. I told you the opposite of what you should do. Screw the lower limit screw in too far and then attach the cable. Then unscrew it to the proper positi...

You could try backing off the lower limit screw to give you more room to get the cable tight. Then adjust the limit screw back to the proper position. Usually grabbing the cable with a pair of pliers, puling it tight, and with the cable adjustment slackened right off, then re-tension the cable. Tha...

Hi everyone. I'm still doing battle with this derailleur. I just can't get the cable tension high enough. From what I understand, it should be enough to simply pull it tight when it's in the small ring, tighten up the bolt and then it magically shifts into the big ring. Mine just doesn't do that. Th...

Mr Evil wrote:The specs shows that it might have either 140 or 160mm discs fitted, depending on the year. Disc size has a significant effect on braking power, with 140mm being a bit wimpy.

Fantastic point. My handy pink ruler confirms that they're 160mm. so there's potential

As always Brucey, thanks for the valuable info. a) - fair enough, and this problem probably further compounded by the bike being a CX bike and as such - has fully enclosed cables, so extra places for it to rub. Would it be worthwhile getting new cables and ensuring the lubrication is top notch? I'm ...

Thank you for the reply.
I'm surprised, to be honest.
I'll be changing it shortly.
Thanks

Hi all, So I've had a Verenti Substance since last year. It doesn't get much use, mostly due to too many bikes; but another problem is one of classic operant conditioning. Whenever I use the bike for anything other than very short rides, my index fingers hurt. It's from having to pull hard on the br...

So I'm having a little trouble adjusting my SORA front derailleur. First basic question, which side of the pin does the cable go on? The bike came with the cable on "the outside" of the pin (position 1 in pic). It seems to me that the cable should run between the pin and the bolt, under th...

Hi all,
I rather fancy the saddle in the picture, but haven't seen such a light colour for sale.
Anyone know what it would be called?

There is zero corporate information, not so much as a phone number. And you ask if it is a scam? There no need to be a twit about it though! FYI it came up on Facebook a an ad and I was on my phone so I simply posted a link and asked a question. I obviously suspect it's a scam. Manners cost nothing...

What do we make of this, then?
Surely it's a scam?!

I totally want one, though!

The same thing happened to me - after the "petrol treatment" my drivetrain became rather grumbly and creaky. On closer inspection - it was because the whole thing, especially the chain and sprockets were badly worn. The dirt and grease on chain and sprockets was actually acting as a "...
