how do you adjust shimano sti shifters?

you'll need to make the adjustment at the rear derailler.\n\nHowever, best advice, take it to a bike shop and ask them to show you. once you learn you will save big $$$$$.\n\n(Basic rule is, when standing directly behind the bike, looking at the derailer adjustment knob. a right turn will adjust the derailer down, a left turn will adjust it up......figure out which way your gear changes are missing, ie up shift or downshift. adjust incrementally until the gear 'just' changes....that should see you right)...good luck!

Wow. Must say that's one of the more interesting Q's I've seen lately.\n\nSome things you could try:\n- raise your handlebars (check w/ a bike shop) so you sit more upright\n- try different saddles, some have those holes in the middle\n- remove the "hardware" before you ride, put it back in while cleaning up after your ride.\n- try going au naturel... remove the hardware entirely.\n\nGood luck... keep us "posted"

it should be the pedal on the far left...leave your foot on it to switch gears and release when not needed.

What kind of bar ends do you have?  If they are bar caps, rather than ends, then the thing just slots over the end of your bar and you tighten up a grub screw until the cap does not move.  It works by pinching the outside of your bars.\n\nIf you have bar plugs, which look like mushrooms, then you unscrew the allen screw that runs down the middle of the two pieces so that the two are still both on the screw, bu there is a gap between them.\n\nThe plug works by expanding when you tighten the screw, so it squeezes the inside of your bars (unlike caps).  \n\nSo you have unscrewed your bar plug, then you need to insert it into the bar so that the plug is all the way in.  If the plug is a bit sticky and won't go in the bar, it might be because you have a moulding line where the bar was made.  You can just tap the bar end in with a rubber mallet or cover it with a piece of wood and tap the wood with a hammer.  The plug is probably aluminium, so it will just get crushed where the burr is and slide in.\n\nThen you just tighten the screw until it will not tighten any more.  The plug is now in.  Repeat on the other side.\n\n\n\nIt is called ghost pedalling when your pedals do that.  It is usually because your chain is too tight.  Just undo your rear wheel and move it slightly closer to the sprocket and retighten it.  There should be a bit of slack in the chain, but not a massive amount. That should sotp it from happening..\n\nHope that helps.\n\nhttp://www.westernveil.com  (add a pic).

Major overhauls to the groups happen every couple of years. With Shimano, it seems that the interval is about three years. They also tend to use the trickle-down effect. They'll first roll out new features in their high-end groups (Dura-Ace and XTR) one year, then trickle down the technology for the other groups in the next year. The latest evidence of that is the new two piece crankset.\n\nIn between, they make little tweaks here and there. They'll update the shape of the brake calipers, tweak the wheelset, and so on.

remove the panel under the steering column. look high on the clutch pedal, it will be on the back side of the pedal(firewall being on the front side of the pedal)

Your all wrong, it's the gear shifter.\n\nThese cars allways do this, if your on a hill it's worse.\n\nHave a person-persons push on the car to "unstress" the pressure on the trans, then move the shifter into park.\n\nThis will work.

The correct size allen wrench should loosen the stem. Sometimes after you loosen the bolt you have to tap on it with a hammer to loosen it from inside the tube. If you can't get it loose, just take it to a bike shop. They will have no problem straightening it for you and probably won't cost that much.

First of all, you'll have to be or get the "administrator"(owner) of your machine to make the adjusts for you. If you're the administrator, go to the control panel, User Accounts folder, and click on your particular user name,,You'll see the area where you make the necessary changes. Hope this helps, Larry RadioShack 01-9590

should be on the throttle body.  Either on the linkage or directly across from the linkage on the otherside of the throttle body.

Try and contact Mercury Marine their website is listed below. My dad bought an aftermarket conversion kit and it never worked right. He had lots of problems with it and he's an engineer. I hope you find what you need.\nhttp://www.mercurymarine.com\nGood Luck!!!!

In general...\n\nIf it's an aluminum frame, trash it. If it's carbon, trash it. If it's an older steel frame, depending on how bad it is, you could possibly straighten the frame by taking it to your local bike shop (a reputable one, not somewhere like Performance Bike) and have them cold set it. Ideally they'll have a frame table as well to get everything perfect.\n\nIn your case, it sounds like you either have a problem with your forks, or the front end of the bike is twisted. You're pretty much outta luck here. Time for a new frame.\n\nGood luck!

2 classic methods\n-adjust seat so when you put your heel on the pedal, the leg should be straight at the bottom of the pedal stroke.\n-put your foot so the joint below the big toe is right above the pedal spindle. The leg should have a slight bend when the pedal is at the bottom of the stroke when you set the correct seat height.\n\nNow fine tune the seat height. Have someone look at your pedaling. If your hips are rocking, your seat is too high still. Also, if your thighs or knees are hurting, seat may be too low. Once you find the proper height, mark your seatpost with some tape.

go to the sram/rockshox website, there you can download a .pdf version of the manual. I actualy just did it myself.\n\nhttp://www.sram.com/en/service/index.php

well you don't NEED to change out your fork, you can do a few things. If your fork has air assist you can lower your psi, also look into getting new springs and a lighter weight oil. I suggest going to you local bike shop and tell them the problem your dealing with and see what they can do to help you...worst case buy a new fork that can be fully tuned to get the feel your looking for.

There should be 2 small gaps on one side of the outer race, 180 degrees apart. Install the inner race by holding it perpendicular to the axis of the outer race. slide the inner race into the outer race at these two openings. When the inner race is inside the outer race, pivot the inner race so that both axis are aligned. Simple, huh?

first try to assess if you have the right chain-sprocket combination, then the chain lenght and tension.then check your cable tension with the barrel adjuster on the rd and trigger shifter,and if its too tight, it might skip over the other sprockets, and vice-versa.
