No, it’s not the cable. It’s definitely the shifter mechanism. Hard to explain the lever simply freewheels with no resistance at all. It’s like the internal ratchet mechanism is not engaging. I re-indexed the gears with no improvement.

The bike is simply old and needs other fixes, not the least of which is new tires. I no longer want to invest in fixes/upgrades to keep the thing road worthy .

Besides, as mentioned, my company will reimburse, at least a good portion, of the cost of a new bike
