My bike has a helluva time shifting to the 10T from 11T. Even without any tension on the cable, it's somewhat reluctant to do this. When I bolt down the cable, it's almost impossible. Shifting between the other 10 gears operates just fine, and shifting from 10T to 11T is fine, but the chain is reluctant to drop down to the 10T. When it would do so, it is quite clunky and jarring.
When I first got the bike, i realized that there was an unnecessary bend between the chain stay exit and the RD, and that this was really messing up the shifting (in the other gears). Making that particular section straighter improved shifting of the other gears, but not 11T to 10T. I'm wondering if there may be other friction points somewhere of which I'm not aware? Any other suggestions?
Many thanks in advance
