I ride into work every day, usually on the road bike but also on the mtb if the weathers foul. The gears on the mtb never need touching but my road bike indexing needs adjusting 2-3 times a week, usually on the way home.
Initial thoughts were that the temperature variation between morning and evening journeys could be doing something(sometimes about 15 degrees warmer onteh way home) but it takes about 1/4 to 1/2 a turn on the barrel adjuster to get the gears working properly again. It’s Sram red/force ten speed stuff and works fine when I ride in the mornings (having got it right on ten way home) so now I’m thinking that someone is purposely tweaking the cable tension to screw it up, not sure what they’re motivation would be though 😕
Anyhow, what can I use to demonstrate that my paranoia is real! Thought about tippex etc but don’t really want to paint my pristine mech…
