Thanks all,
Can you get a twist grip changer for triple chain set?

Will check all other options as well,

Regarding proof reading ,three out of four understand problem,which can be difficult to explain.

Hallo me again,

Fitted to my Thorn Sherpa I have Shimano SLX- 660 Front Mech and Cassett rapid fire changers, when changing from middle ring to high ring due to starting with I think arthritis I am finding things difficult, due to the distance travelled by the thump lever from middle to high on chain ring
It seems the Norm /Design the distance of travel between clicks, I have on my other bike XT Rapid fire changers are easier to use.i have upgraded front and rear mechs from the older Shimano LX changers but I dont think that is an issue ,

Advice please

I have been upgrading my daughters ladies Coventry Eagle cycle, have almost finished quite pleased with it, except that it has developed a squeak when peddling every revolution of the cranks,just hoping that i am onto the correct track,when I stand on the pedals while peddling it goes away, Me thinks it the seat causing it.
If not, looking onward to the bottom bracket, although it is a square taper axle(adjustable) it looks longer than the modern sealed axles also the frame threads area seems longer than the 68 mm on modern Frames .

Appreciate comments please,

RegardsTom

Thank you all for your comments,

The reason I posted my inquiry was that I bought the tool for setting the bearings on the Shimano pedal PD M324 tool no TL-PD33 the Hexagonal adjusting screw at the end of the tool for some reason is 7 mm.
Regards to you all
Tom

why do cycling sets of Hexagonal Allen keys omit 7 mm
Regards Tom

Afternoon all,

A Cycling friend called round to see me today with problem concerning a Specialized Sirus Pro carbon cycle, the original person had from new an upgrade regards to lowering the gearing.
The cycle is approx 3 year old and as far as I knew were fitted with Sram transmission throughout.

This bike is fitted with Shimano Deore XT front and rear mechs, I did not note the rapid lever make, I think the make must be Shimano to match the mechs,double chainset, 10 speed cassette.

The double chainset rapid change lever is made to fit a triple,ie two clicks, and seems to be adjusted with inner lever all ready in position,second click nothing third click outer ring.
Any advice please.

how do I add Image to post please, one image is worth a thousand words

thank you Rick for your reply
