Its been a year now that I’ve been riding a triathlon bike. As a whole it took some getting used to, the position was very different & aero bars are challenging at first. Since the original build, it never shifted all that great. (Actually it shifted like crap) I’d have the bike serviced & it would shift ok for a ride or two then it would go to hell again.
Finally my frustration level hit its max. I called around to find out who was the best mechanic in the Seattle area for this particular problem on my specific make & model. Word on the street was Garrick (spelling?) at Speedy Reedy was the man to see.
On a Friday morning I brought my bike into Speedy Reedy’s to have it looked at. In 10 minutes the problem I had been having for over a year was diagnosed. The derailleur cables were twisted inside the frame. Within a couple hours they had the cables rerouted & the bike shifting like it was supposed to. My long weekend ride was like being on a whole new bike.
Bottom line…need a bike mechanic in Seattle (triathlon or road) head to Speedy Reedy.
