Anyone have a solution as to why my gear is so VERY difficult to retract / extend on my Ventus c? It's the very last 10% trying to get the lever into the indent that's the problem.
Also check that the bolts and nuts for the gear are not too tight and are well lubricated. This may happen if the gear has be removed and reinstalled. If you continues to pull/Push on an overly tight gear handle good chance that the handle may break off.
How do I know this????

Thank you Richard. This strikes a chord as the gear mech. has been reinstalled by a previous owner. I'll definitely check these as I've definitely felt that I may break off the handle!
