It's the mechanism on a bike with gears that moves the chain up and down the different size sprockets when you adjust the gear lever. Does that make sense?Originally Posted by Bambi

Sure Ed - The bright diagonal line under the gear (where the brand name Skylark is) is competing too hard with the derailleur itself due to brightness. Tone it down through burning/cloning etc and the image will sing louder imo. The top part of the metal where skylark is written also looks bright on my monitor and I'd also tone that down by 10-20% as well. Hope that helps - marko

Thanks for the tips Marko. Tried to do as recommended - is this what you meant:

I don't know if it was what Marko had in mind, but I think it's an improvement
