The 3 cogs at the front to select 1 2 and 3 it will go between 2 and 3 fine but when I try to get 1 the thing that pushes it jist hits the chain and doesnt knock it enough to go into gear. Easy fix? Front deralieur that is, could be something simple like cable tension or bit of lube on it. Be careful if you decide not to fix it some of the old retro bikes fetch good money.

Stuck it in shed month later got it out to ride it and gears didn't work. Changed gears over from a bike I had lieing around, still didn't work. I ended loosing my temper taking them off and going single speed still got to sort the front end out as running original up front. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes mate, put a bit of tippex or similar on one link, get a pencil or an empty biro tube, dip it in the oil and drop a bit of oil on every link, turn the bike upside down and do it again until every link is lubed Cheers, D. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
