Here's the deal: I've adjusted my derailers often but I can't get the rear shifting right on my Hilsen. I have DuraAce bar ends which I've been using in friction mode for about a year and a half. I have a brand new rear cassette, 9-speed, brand new chain and chain rings. I use Sheldon's method when setting things up. I shift to the highest gear (when the cable is loosest) with the cable disconnected. I pull the cable until it is just snug, then tighten the bolt. I leave about 1 available turn on each barrel adjuster (there are two for the rear cable) to loosen the cable if need be, which leaves the much more room for the barrel adjusters to tighten it. I can't seem to get the shifting to stay still in the lowest 3 gears. It skips back and forth. It will be ok if there's not too much of a load on the pedals but it wants to wander when I'm climbing. This is the case in all three chainrings. What gives?!? I keep tightening the barrel adjusters 1/2 turn at a time and can't seem to get it right. I loosen and that's no help either. When I go to the very lowest gear (requiring the most cable tension) it stays in place fine. So what do you all think, is the cable too tight or too loose?
