Chgd big ring, chain & rear cassette on 2x10 HT.
Little ring not chgd as fine.
Gears all reset & sweet.

Have checked the bolts on the little chain ring.

It's because the inner ring has some wear on it.

So you changed all the parts apart from the little ring and it doesn't work in the little ring?

Maybe it isn't "fine" would be my guess

Maybe your bike is rebelling against text talk?

(That's a joke by the way. Change your small chain ring. Cost peanuts now everyone has gone 1 x)

Wee ring has some wear in it and probably needs replaced; check all the chainset bolts and make sure they are all done up b@stard tight.

If it's a alloy granny ring then replace it with a steel one as the alloy ones are not up to the task, the steel ones aren't much heavier either.

I suspect a shortage of vowels is ur underlying prblm.

I'm concerned this even necessatates a thread:

This.

Take the little ring off and turn it round and try that. Because the small ring is square cut it will work either way round.

Didn't get to try the old one other way round but good suggestion will try it.
