I have the right gear assembly for a 29 and it was working just fine and then just stopped. The cable is not broken and the speedometer works when tested. I had the rear in the air with the car running and the cable off the speedometer. It was not turning but when i pressed the inner cable in about 1'8'' with my finger it started to spin. people talk about adding a nail to the gear but when I try to place a fine finishing nail in I cannot even feel a hole.
