I'm thinking it may be a gunked up/broken shifter. I have tried adjusting my limit stops all the way out and nothing. I have also tried disconnecting the cable at the front derailer so there is no tension on the shifter and tried the shifter. When I did this, the shifter never indexed/"clicked". I removed the front cover on the shifter and didn't see anything unusual. I then put it back together and reconnected/adjusted the cable. Still nothing. My best guess was/is that the shifter is gunked up/broken and so doesn't hold the high gear.
Anyway to check this out? Or do I have to source a new shifter?
Thanks.
Wil
