Hi,
I got a strange problem with my x0 shifter. It skips.
Let me explain. when the cable is fully released, I can go up one speed. Then if I try to change gear again, it will skip, but if I continue my motion, the lever continues and it will shift for 1 gear.
That's the only 3 gears I have. After that point, if I try to shift, the shifter just skips.
push *little clicking noise*. Did nothing.
I disassemble the shifter to find the problem, but I couldn't seems to find any.
I don't know the names, but I'll try to explain what I think happens.
On the upper part of the shifter, there's a plastic roller where you insert the cable. Under this roller, there's some teeth that are used to crank the cable.
The roller is cranked with a notch that comes from the lower assembly of the shifter, this assembly is linked to the thumb lever.
What I think happens (but not sure), is that either the teeth of the roller or the notch from the lower assembly are worn out and don't "trigger" anymore. It skips. But again, I'm really not sure if that's the real problem.
Now I heard about sram shifter's rebuild kit, but can't seems to find any information on those.
So bottom line:
1. Does anyone have an idea of what the problem is?
2. Does anyone have information on the rebuild kits. What they contains, if it may fix my problem?
Sorry for my bad english, it's my 2nd language. I'll try to post some pictures tonight.
Thank you,
JF
