Most likely a maintenance issue however, but could also be in your shifters. Tiagra shifters aren't quite as smooth shifting as Ultegra or Dura Ace. All that said, I would tell you to do a complete tune-up on your running gear first: tune and service both front and rear dérailleurs, check chain for wear and replace if necessary and shoot a little lube into both shifters. Very good instructions for the proper set-up of dérailleurs is here: http://www.parktool.com/repair_help/FAQindex.shtml and scroll down to the section and dérailleurs and shifting. -------------------- Steel lover, but then I like Ti with carbon too.
