Hello,
I went on a short ride one day - about 10 miles - no issues. the next day, I went out to ride, and when my chain was on the middle (of three) chainrings on the front, I got a scrape every time that I pedaled around.
On the small and large chainring, no worries or issues - smooth. On that middle one, scraping.
I worked on it a bit tonight... The large chainring is so close to the outer bottom edge of the cage, that it scrapes with the tops of the large chainring.
Ive tried adjusting the deraileur to get it better, but the thing is, it shifts well as-is. Adjust it, and it doesnt.
Its almost like I need to bend the cage, or file it down... but that cannot be right. The whole assembly has play, but the bike is only 8 years and maybe 1000 miles, I cannot imagine it is worn out.
Any thoughts??? Ill try to post a picture.
Thanks!
