my wife runs the accounts and is keen up on what I do in the garage. Buying a new bike is easier said than done. But since there is an overstock of options (for now) for 26 in bikes i’ll just upgrade components as needed. Those mega 9 shifters have seen the better part of a decade, dear. Oh and new shifters new need derailleurs I don’t know why but that’s how it works.
Although what I really need is a new road bike right now something in this century would be nice. But since my champagne taste and beer budge is a problem right now, my friendly LBS and my wife’s consent to utilize it will have to do.
OH and they’re smarter than they let on to be, if they’re not that doesn’t sound like a fun marriage then. different strokes for different folks i guess. I got young kids too and the best thing to do is take them with, unless you’re a bad ass free rider, but a buggy ride is well worth their joy over your shredding it up.
okay so what i should have said it is continuing to ghost shift after i adjusted my limits. after talking to a guy i ride with he gave me the number of a guy who does some bike repair on the side. getting with him and after going down the trouble shooting line we found the problem. Like mentioned in the original post I’ve got a dual suspension. The both front a rear derailleur cables run down the bottom tube and under the crank set and so forth. The cable housing on my rear was cut per a normal length based on what the previous housing length was. I’m 235 so I would put so much flex in my suspension the BB housing was pushing down on the cable causing it to ghost shift. lengthened the cable problem solved.
Backed my limits back still falling down the cassette with more of a slack coming up the cage
so upon adjusting my limits and that does not cure the problem where/what is the next place to start looking?

here they are in each extreme.
Schwim- I am referring to my rear but you may be on to something. I’ll post a picture per your request.
Caveman- I’ve suspected a bent hanger since putting the system together. I’ve also wondered if my spacing with my BB isn’t right. I took it to my LBS and was given the green light but idk how good he is. Meaning I took it to my lbs with this problem and no solution from their mechanic.
I am considering taking everything off and starting over and seeing what results are yielded.
