Hi, well ive owned a Specialed Enduro for 3 yaers now, im not hard on it. It seems to be leaking alittle out from the front right shock. Its building up on the shaft part and im not sure if i should have replaced the seals or do they replce the spring ? I put 130 lbs in to the front and it holds it for about a week. Then it slides down to about 100. Any remedies? can you help ? Thanks Doug
the shifting is jerky, when you shift the gears it should be smooth, so you want equal tension, not to tight and not loose at all. to little tension and nothing happens when you shift.
same thing this video shows, adjust your barrel adjuster, it should be near the cable that goes to the rear derailur, its a knob that you can twist, twist it clockwise to make it tighter. or maybe you need to loosen it so turn it counter clock wise, experiment with it.
nice
i got a universal piece of shit!!!!
the gears go by themselves since the chain fell off when i hit a bush
now im gonna try this to fix them so hopefully it will work
good deal bud, say , how difficult was it to get that job?
