Just been for a very unsuccessful ride this evening :(. My derailleur pivot point (where the jockey wheel arm rotates around) is very stiff. Does anyone know if this can be taken apart, cleaned and re-assembled?

Thanks

Luke

If it's a clutch mech and you have the clutch on then it will be stiff.

No it isn't a clutch mech but done a little more digging and found this.

Will take another look in the morning.

Yes they'll come apart, remove the no.7 bolt in the diagram and the cage can be pulled off it's shaft(how easily depends on how much shite has worked it's way in there).
