- I had the sam problems when I bought my MB-1. The dealer replaced the original
- Daido chan with a Sachs Sedisport ATB and my shifting is now fine. I have to
- admit, though, I am thinking about replacing the freewheel with a Shimano
- Hyperglide one because my old bike with Exage components shifted better under
- load. Other than that one problem, I love the drivetrain.
