Answer
Hello Gabe,

Nice set up from your bike.
Little question, how long didn't you use the bike?
And did you oiled it up before storage?
Only in Nevada the Nevada desert you can store a airplane without problems cause the
right moisture.
Did you check if the cable is running properly?
Does work the frontderaileur properly?
If those 2 are working well, you can try to adjust it further.
It isn't easy to tell you in 2 words how to, but at this link you will find your answer, or closeby.

Hope that this will help you Gabe!

Live to ride, ride to live again...

Best regards

Mike
