Yep, loose bearings. Repacking is really very simple. I do all my MKS
pedals (GKs and Touring) before I even mount 'em these days.

East Canyon is just west of Newhall in LA County. I've ridden that dirt
road at least 50 times... a nice climb in oak trees. At the top there is an
intersection that can take you to Mission Peak with great views of the San

Michael,
Only help I can offer is you may have the cable too tight. Through a lot
of trial and error have found that the cable needs to be snug, but not
really tight to handle index shifting properly. (At least on my Sam

Also check that the rear derailleur adjustment
