Hey crew... trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'm having rear derailleur problems - earlier this year, I jacked one up pretty bad and after 3-4 visits to my LBS to adjust, I just decided to have them replace it.
The new one lasted about a month before somehow it got busted - but this time there was a little break in the one arm that was causing it to malfunction.
Got a new Shimano Deore Shadow installed next at the same LBS and after 2 rides - I'm having issues again. it takes 2 clicks of the shift lever to shift to some gears and sometimes 3. I hope it's just an adjustment issue this time, but it has to be something I'm doing wrong?!? I haven't had any crashes with any of these derailleurs, and I don't recall any major hits on logs/rocks or the like...
Any suggestions on how to care a little better for my rear derailleur? It's kind of frustrating...
