This 2001 XT/XTR group didn’t want to shift at all in either direction. Shifters and derailleur completely sludged up, springs too weak to move under own power. Flushed the shifter with deep penetrating cleaner/lubricant/Tri Flow all the pivots and cables and looky looky! 💰
Bike is a 2001 Gary Fisher Mt Tam. Rider is no longer with us I made sure to give it the extra love since I knew he was watching every wrench turn. They’ll have two working MTB’s they can ride and talk about how much He loved riding.
