I've just taken apart and reassembled (there was my mistake) an x7 shifter. In cycling the shifter after putting the spring back in, it seems to only do 8 gears. Will the 9th reappear when it's back on the bike attached to the mech or is there something else that I need to do inside to get it working?
there are only 8 clicks between 9 gears?
er, how many clicks do you get out of the shifter?
starting in 1st, there are 8 'clicks' to 9th...

Yup.
1-click-2-click-3-click-4-click-5-click-6-click-7-click-8-click-9
sounds normal to me!?
As above. I fell foul of that once, doh! If that isn't the case, thread a cable in it with a bit of tension and try it like that
it knackered and its winter time so MTFU and SS
Junkyard - be gentle, I'm going 1x9 at least.
Yeah, probably the 8-clicks for 9 gears thing. I'm an idiot.
😆
(s/s is for life, not just for xmas)
No definitely fubar... Although I need a new X7 shifter for my [s] 9 [/s] 8 speed set-up and I'd give you £1 to take it off your hands...
😈
Oddly shimano put 7 clicks on their 7 spd thumbies which meant you could use them on 8spd. Munqe chicks Kona from 93-94 is still on its original 7spd thumbies and an 8spd cassette.
so does a crown race come as part of a headset?
I'm off home to count my 'clicks'
