White grease spray.... somebody recommend i should now lube the shifters (after all that WD40 / GT85 But after a quick Google, some seem to say white grease can harden and clog up things like shifters. What to do for the best?

Heres my Mavic wheels after a few hundred miles (the coating hasn't been worn off yet)

Some rims are painted (from new) even on the braking area...it could be that they have had little use and not yet worn through? Maybe

Love it

I'm looking for a nice silver seatpost for my Cannondale f700. Anyone got anything? Thankyou

Had another go. Inside was /is clean as a whistle. This time I lifted the whole mechanism out of the plastic and removed the cable. Played around a little and hey presto everything is clicking and pulling cables like it should. Fixed! Made my day. Thank all. ...now, what was somebody...

Surprisingly light.

Thanks guys! Great help.

Thanks. Will try today. Thing is, I'm planning to use this bike to bikepack to Cape Wrath. So reliability is my main concern.

Thanks but no luck. Took the cover off and had a good look. I think the spring is too weak to push the paw down onto the gears. If I push it down with a screw driver it engages the gears and clicks. Without pushing it down it just passed over the gears

Had a good go with WD40 but it's not done anything. Removed the screw and looked inside, there isn't any build up of gunk. Strange, it's like there is just no cable in there. No resistance at all.

The bike looks like it's never been used (no wear on blocks or rims. I wonder if the shifter failed and they never fixed it and thus rode it? Will try wd. I suspect paws because I pulled tension on the cable and that didn't do anything while I attempted to change through the gears
