Subject: LX Rapidfire Shifter, Doesn't Posted by: strung on December 27, 2002 at 22:28:24:

Message: `98 Stumpjumper FSR, Shimano LX shifters. The rear shifter, right thumb, doesn't seem to "catch" a lot of the time. I have to push it way down to the bottom of travel to pull the chain onto a larger cog. Sometimes it works fine, i.e., catchs [is that a word?] like it should at top of travel, but usually doesn't and seems to be getting worse. Do I need to replace the shifters or is there something to fix/adjust in there? Thanks for your help. ms
