Hi,

Quick question hopefully you can help.

My bike is about 4 months old and the gear levers are starting to get a bit sticky when I change down {go into a lower gear} the lever should spring back into position and it is not now.

The Gear lever is a Shimano STEF50 8Spd

24 Gears in total, it is the down change which is getting stuck, So pushing forward with the thumb changer!

Any advise on fixing this,

Cheers

D

If it's only 4 months old you should bring it back to the shop and have them check.

It might just need a bit of lubrication. Bring it back to the shop.

I had a similar problem with my mtb, had the bike shop stuck and all, I eventually discovered my handlebar grips had rotated and were preventing lever from returning to it's original position, might be worth checking if you have anything bar flat grips.
