Bicycles for beginners are equipped with the cheapest transmission, and the transmissions on them weakly switch and hone. Owners in these cases can not do anything, because they realize that they manage cheap garbage. But after a certain time, faced with similar problems of switching after the purchase of more expensive equipment or bike, people are usually puzzled.

The point here is understandable, not in fate, but in the wrong attitude to the technique. An experienced cyclist will quickly be able to determine the level of transmission. It is about, the non-stroke work is not always associated with the class, and more depends on the setting and state. Let's try to list most of the factors causing such problems.

Cables and shirts
Such a problem occurs most often from novice cyclists. It is enough to tell the tickle or and even remove the cable from the shirt and inspect it for contaminants. In addition, the cable can be broken somewhere, which will largely negatively affect switching. In case of detection of such a defect, it is worth going to the store for a new cable. The end of the cable should be equipped with an aluminum cap, which serves as protection against dissolve. Passatia will help get rid of it if necessary, unscrew bolts and cables from the switch.

If you have a chance to remove your shirt, and the cable is not polluted and is not damaged, it is worth wing with a cloth, then sprinkle with a teflon lubricant on it, which will leave a thin sliding layer on it. Shirts stand to shed WD40. It is necessary to extract all the dirt at the maximum, because during the riding it, most likely it was accumulated. It is important to consider the next thing - the cables and shirts do not need lubrication. Thick lubricants, like solidol, is not categorically recommended. After a couple of departures on the soil in shirts, a consistency consisting mainly of dirt will be accumulated.

There are cables with teflon coating that cost a little more than normal. The difference in shifting gear is noticeable at the first exit. Of course, the coating is erased over time, especially in places of frequent interaction with a shirt. Solution: Committed with them in the sets of storms, which prevent dirt and dust entering. If we talk about shirts, then they should not be long or short segments. It is better to spend a little, but make a shirt one whole. In places of folds, friction increases many times and the formation of dirt does not cause himself to wait.

Deformed Rear Switch Bracket
There are situations where it seems to be a perfectly established rear switch works with failures, despite the new cables and shirts. The reason may be that when transporting a bicycle somewhere was clamped, and the bracket brought a little. If it is impossible to establish a clear switching of speeds, then it is worth removing the rooster and put it on the table. Crooked? Need to correct. But it is important not to overdo it, since aluminum is covered by cracks. As an option - set back to the bike and try to straighten your hands. Ideal it would be to correct the curvature with a special typewriter, but if there is no such thing at hand, the grandfathers will be useful. Another option is to find a similar curved in a cymagazine and replace.

Free rear switch
To check the play, it is enough just to move the rear switch. During such a procedure, it should be absent. With a small free course, especially at minimum transmission groups, nothing to worry about. But during operation, the backlash has a property to increase, then there may be delays in switching or fuzziness. If everything is normal with cables and roosters, the exact setting will help get rid of the negative effect.

Bad shifts on a bike - a common problem. Dirt stuck in shirts, bent bracket, free switch, bad tuning - everything is folded into a single integer. Many consider it the norm and continue to ride. Speed \u200b\u200bswitched on the principle of "two forward, one back". You can not do it this way! Any transmission, whether it is even the most minimum Shimano Tourney, must accurately throw the chain when switching.

To serve the transmission on time and follow the cleanliness of the components - 2 conditions, the execution of which will help avoid problems when riding.

One of the reasons for bad gear shift can be a non-shy or dirty chain. We share with you video about the right ways to clean the chain.
