Hey Spock, would it be logical that if a noob earless Vulcan fish should avoid those rear small cogs while getting use to their DIY, might there be a way to prevent the chain from engaging them? Can the rear derailleur be adjusted to avoid those cogs? I'll take a shot at this.. shorten the shift cable?? Could always do the proper length later. But what about the shifter?Wow! Mr. Robertson! You always have a wealth of information! I concede, I don't have the tool shop you do but my son does. If he saw my post he'd probably say "come on dad!" Oh well, just being Tuna.
eek. Don't mess with the cable! There IS a generally accepted way to lock out derailleur cogs: Adjust the limit screws on the derailleur so it can't travel as far as it normally would.Hey Spock, would it be logical that if a noob earless Vulcan fish should avoid those rear small cogs while getting use to their DIY, might there be a way to prevent the chain from engaging them?
