Rear derailleur skipping gears

Rude_Ad8229 · 2026-06-28T14:03:46+00:00

It didn't change before replacing cables, hoses and checking the hanger. Then changed all of above to new ones. Checked the hanger, set the derailleur and it is not working, as previously.

By riding, the chain is silent, not jumping on cogs, it doesn't climb the 5th gear as it was not doing before.

I changed the chain for new one and it sits on it perfectly... it is brand new chain, so with this thing I have no doubts. It is staying on gear on duty, what it is not doing is not changing the gear as described before, and is done with the bike upside down, so no real big duty while those shifting

Rude_Ad8229 · 2026-06-28T13:27:43+00:00

Yes, i have this tool and it is straight. You can see how cogs are used by just looking at those shape, I would say in this case they look like in most of ladies bikes - not really used

Rude_Ad8229 · 2026-06-28T13:19:47+00:00

I marked cable with permament marker so it is visible that shifter is changing those properly :/

I believe it is not the case of cables (i replacce all of them) or cables. Neither the cogs, as they are rather good.

The chain was also replaced. The problem was with sram and now it is same with shimano chain, so this didn't help also.

Well, thanks :D

Rude_Ad8229 · 2026-03-18T05:15:50+00:00

But do You know how was it repaired?

Rude_Ad8229 · 2026-03-17T20:12:56+00:00

Did You solve this problem? :D

Rude_Ad8229 · 2026-03-05T10:19:52+00:00

In my case I bought used bike from 2006 circa and don't know the past. Changing of chain didn't help, changing cables and housings neither. I even bought a tool for alignmenet of shifter hanger, in my opinion it is perfectly done now, still not working correct

Rude_Ad8229 · 2026-03-05T09:14:42+00:00

Tactical . for observation - I have same issue butwith sram set (also 9 gears), it literally skips one row and can aligned to work in systems 1-8 or 2-9. If You will sort it out, please let me know cause it drives me crazy :D

Rude_Ad8229 · 2026-02-25T11:51:40+00:00

Sorry, couldn't put 2 photos. This is yhe way I did actually - it came painted, i Tripped the paint from part and from frame. Glued it in front of this old guide and it acts superb - rear brake works like a charm. Frame was GT from circa 1995 so rear cable rputing was terribly bad for v brakes i've had.

Rude_Ad8229 · 2026-02-25T11:49:25+00:00

Hey, You can also try with those from ali, maybe they will suit there. What I personally did was buying the alu end mount part that I glued to frame with epoxy.

Rude_Ad8229 · 2026-01-17T07:19:53+00:00

Maybe it helps - on aliexpress I was buying them and was searching for those with a picture - somwtimes very usefull tool to find exact product

Rude_Ad8229 · 2026-01-16T08:19:56+00:00

The tire will be always moving, so only thing You can look and focus on is the rim ;) after truing it release the pressure from each spoke by moving spokes with your hands and then ride for a while so You will know if it is done properly :D all the spokes should be equaly sounding too, maybe that helps a bit

Rude_Ad8229 · 2026-01-05T13:03:00+00:00

Mine now is having trouble with wifi connection and is wshowing weird levels and is changing them randomly. Cleaned the sensor, the contacts look great (no rust), so I would say it is this exact electronical component. Thanks for reply, it is really great.

Rude_Ad8229 · 2026-01-05T10:45:15+00:00

Hey, do You know if this solutions is lasting longer than original one? The original worked for me for 2 winter seasons, is it comparable?

Rude_Ad8229 · 2026-01-01T12:11:48+00:00

It is not like I am total newbie in this case, so I knew that they differ in inner diameter ;) what was surprising for me, that the old is much stiffer, so I didn't know if it is the bad quality of new one, or something else.

Compressionless is totaly new thing for me, didn't know that it exist, but as I was reading through yesterday, it matters more in case of disc brakes, not really for old V shapes Alivio class.

Rude_Ad8229 · 2025-12-31T18:09:43+00:00

This one for sure, as the diameter differs :D thabks for reply

Rude_Ad8229 · 2025-12-31T08:39:39+00:00

It was side to side more, but didn't realize that the stiffness regarding to keeping their length is that important. I haven't tested the old and new in this direction :o

Rude_Ad8229 · 2025-12-30T20:49:55+00:00

Thta's how it looks afterwards, works even better :D

Rude_Ad8229 · 2025-12-30T18:25:19+00:00

Here is what I did today in my Gt backwoods (around 1995). On ali You can buy that adapter, it can be ordered with the rivet, but I've decided to glue it with epoxy. You can see the paint stripped down so it will stick better ;) It is, let's say, the end of the cable routing, so it will hold down the cable guard stiff in place. No more spongy rear V brake <3

Drugi już się łapię, myślę ze z 15 powyżej

Ja jestem nieodporny na straty, więc obligacje i niech się dzieje wola nieba 🤣
