i just bought a new LX rear derailleur after not being able to ride my bike for several weeks. when i hooked everything up and made all the adjustments, then when out for a short test ride, nothing seemed to shift right. when its on the stand and i pedal it, the chain makes a lot of noise. i cant exactly explain it, but it doesnt make the smooth "whirring" sound like it should. i know my cassette is not worn and the chain is fairly fresh also. i just degreased all the crap off the knight before and lubed it.
when im cranking it in a lower gear, i can hear the "rrrrrrrrr" of the chain and see the derailluer cage jiggling a bit. when i shift out to 9th gear, the chain keeps jumping up and down (on the same gear) and doesnt really provide enough grab to be able to pedal consistantly.
i also checked my hanger for trueness. its been knocked around several times and i do need to replace it very soon but i straightened it out as best i can and i still seem to be having all these problems.
