Hi!
I recently bought a Carrera Subway 8, which uses the nexus SG-8R25 for it's gear mechanism.
I find all the gears engage instantly, except 5th. Sometimes I pedal a further 10 or so revolutions before 5th engages. It doesn't happen every time, but often enough to spoil my cycling.
Halfords replaced the rear wheel for me today but I still have the same problem. They told me they will discuss it with Carrera. Halfords have so far been great about it, so I'm not flaming them here, I'm simply wondering if anyone else is aware of this problem?
Great bike, and I really like the feature of being able to change gear when stationary, as I frequently get stuck in London traffic in the wrong gear! But this problem with 5th is really spoiling it for me. I notice on the Shimano website, in the tech details, that 5th uses a 1:1 ratio, but don't understand why this should affect the gear in this manner.
Can something else be the cause of this, or am I going to have to modify my cycling technique to work round it? The other option will be to try to get a replacement bike, but there are other options I would rather explore first.
