Shimano Cable Set
Is it possible to switch cables to shift a Shimano?
I picked my new bike today, a Kona Dr Dew, and the selector lever for the rear derailleur seems backwards. I am used gear push with your thumb to go higher, to a, and moved with his finger to go out on transition to a more easily. The sprocket voters is what I think is correct ("push" w / thumb for larger sprocket), but the selector lever is on the right the opposite. Very confusing. All information is very welcome.
Charles, I think what you are seeing is the difference between a "top normal rear derailleur and a" low normal "(aka" The Rapid Rise) rear derailleur. "top normal" RD is designed so that the derailleur will naturally move to the smallest cog. By Press the large blade increases the tension on the cable and pulls the derailleur to the next larger sprocket. The small trigger makes the tension and allows the derailleur to move back to the smaller cogs in the natural tension of the derailleur spring. It sounds like your Dr Dew has a "top normal" RD, which is pretty much standard equipment. Your old bike must have a "low normal" or "rapid rise" switching mechanism that worked in the opposite way have (push move large paddle on smaller wheels, small trigger pull for tooth move to larger). I think Shimano makes both The Deore XT & XTR in a rapid increase in design. If you are really annoyed by the difference, you should ask your LBS for a change from the front derailleur for a small Charge.
