Sticky gear pedal issues
Hi
I replaced my gear pedal after breaking the tip but it's sticking every time I change gears. It goes up in gears fine, but wont block shift anymore. will only drop down to second and then seems to feel like the pedal is slipping. You have to stomp the pedal down to get in to first. Anyone had this problem or know A fix Cheers |

Re: Sticky gear pedal issues
Is it a new lever or a second hand one? If it's used one then:
Quote:
If the lever isn't perfectly free the selector mechanism centring spring can't reset the claws between changes causing the exact problem you're experiencing, but if you reset the lever with your foot you can ride the bike.

Re: Sticky gear pedal issues
That sounds just like my problem. I'll give that a try and report back.

Re: Sticky gear pedal issues
As above, I didn't remove the bush from the old pedal and just slotted the new pedal on. However I dismantled the gear pedal, removed the old plasticky bush and tried to fit it on the new pedal, doesn't fit! And theres no way the footpeg is slotting through. Seems to be some kind of metal internal on the new pedal. It's properly lodged and don't want to try and knock it through, so resorted to putting the old pedal back on with temp fix. Any ideas what to do next?

Re: Sticky gear pedal issues
As the MOT was due, the bike went to the garage and let them sort it out for me. Slick a smooth gear changes again. The garage also sorted my front brake calipers, cables and throttle and it feels like a fresh bike again so a big shout to Spring Court garage in Rochdale.
