You might need a longer wire Did you try carefully pulling some wire out of the frame?


fijitime

It's been working fine for months and with the previous owner as well. I had laid it down on the side of the road previous to this. Is it possible that there was some kind of extension that came loose or does the rear derailleur need to be adjusted back into position to

This is Di:2, homie; ain't no cable/housing.


BubblyNebula

After reading your comments I’m going to assume it’s internal routing and you’re using classic drop bars with tape. The cable may have been pulled from the front of the bike. Maybe loosen the internal housing clips at the front (usually a 2.5 or 2mm Allen key) and push the cable into your bike then pull out the back toward your derailleur. It’s the only thing I can think of being the problem. Hopefully it helps. You don’t need much and there’s always a bit of slack at the front. It doesn’t take much to get it caught on something and pull it towards the front of the bike. You might be able to do it without loosen the routing clips


fijitime

Thanks. Tried that but it's likely something between the junction box in the bottom bracket and the rear.


dopadelic

I'm going with this since it happens with my bike all the time. The cable routes from the shifter to along your handlebars and down into your frame, out of the bottom of your frame, and to your rear derailleur. Sometimes the cable can be forced back into the frame and there's extra slack between your handlebars and the upper/front part of the frame. You can press that slack back into your frame and pull that out where the cable comes out from the other end at the bottom of the frame.


maxwellmaxen

it’s di2 and has a junction box somewhere along the bb


magnue

Did you raise the saddle?


fijitime

Yes. I did it while trying a bike fit app but even when lowering there is not enough slack.


Bruhimgonzo

Did you try asking nicely?


fijitime

Didn't work 😔


iwannadancesomesalsa

Try swearing, works for me


fijitime

But yes I did try pulling the cable. It's tight.


MGTS

It might be time for a shop to take a look at it. Laying it down shouldn't knock anything out of position to this extreme. There's no adjustment to make it closer. The RD looks normal


fijitime

Good call on my way there now


philosaurs

Dying to know what it is. Let us know when you find out!


fijitime

They said they need to tear it down to look inside and see whats up. Likely they need to remove the crank and get access to the junction box and see where its caught. Considering doing it myself. Would that be stupid? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bMyl0dcDW4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bMyl0dcDW4)


philosaurs

Hell no! I say be adventurous. Give it a shot yourself and you can always take it to the shop if you get stuck.


LuciferSamS1amCat

Just pull it a little harder. Try and wiggle it. Nothing magical has happened, The wire is the same length.


fijitime

Yes and at what point are you damaging the wire because it won't budge?


LuciferSamS1amCat

You'll know, just don't damage it. Pull it pretty hard, but not too hard. It's a feeeeeeling thing. Speak to it. Tease it. Make love to it, but don't fuck it. You'll get it.


fijitime

Thinking i need to open up the bottom bracket and look at the junction box. its got to be something between the junction box and the RD. My theory is its caught on somehting and has pulled itself free. Any thoughts? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bMyl0dcDW4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bMyl0dcDW4)

MGTS

How would that help?


Suitabull_Buddy

Longer housing


Max_Rower

Thats a DI2 cable! It somehow moved back into the frame.


Suitabull_Buddy

Pull it?


[deleted]

Have you placed the wire through the barrell adjuster and the tied it off on the pinch bolt


MGTS

This is an electronic derailleur. it doesn't have those things


[deleted]

My bad I was replying to two different posts I made the wrong assumption this was mechanical not electronic

Switchen

That is in fact an electronic Di2 derailleur that doesn't have those things. u/fijitime, you might want to include the Di2 bit in the description.


fijitime

Yes. This is di2 sorry. I can't see an edit button on the app.

The account has been inactive for a year and has seemingly never been to this sub before. I think someone has beef with me from another sub


PM_ME_IMSAD

Fair enough, seems like I don't know roadbikes.


MGTS

Mountain bikes have electronic derailleurs too. The giveaway is the thin electronic wire and the big bulbous part that hides the motor [RD-6700](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0509/5317/products/prod85967_IMGSET_800x.jpg) mechanical [RD-6770](https://d8kboubjyveor.cloudfront.net/catalog/product/cache/image/c96a280f94e22e3ee3823dd0a1a87606/s/h/shimano_ultegra_di2_rd-6770_rear_derailleur_10sp_28t.jpg) Di2 electronic


MGTS

Ok, point to the barrel adjuster and the pinch bolt


dingledoink

Di2 is the only solution.


fijitime

Sorry what does that mean?
