Here goes, so I get a DH 9 (helicoiled derailer hanger-but its straight and its helicoiled good) It wont shift for ****, so I bring it to my mechanic-he cant get this thing to work (saint shifter and XT derailur) I figure maybe he just cant figure it out so i go to another shop with a great mechanic (probably the best in the area)No dice, Its all over the place. I cannot run a saint derailur because it will hit the frame (we tried)
It ghosts (down only) from 1st
It hits 9th 1/3 times
5/6th always have issues
I am wondering if the bike is so old, its not 9 speed compatable, any other DH-9 owners expierience this.
a quote from the 2nd mechanic "i dont think this bike is designed to have gears "
