I spent a lot of time attempting to straighten the mech and really wish that I'd left it on the bike beforehand, with the cable tension exactly where it should be. Attempting to adjust cable tension while correcting for the bend in mech was a nightmare. I quickly found that I could get the...
I'd never go to 10 - 12Nm on those things. I most likely will have a spare unless, in some exceptionally fortunate circumstances, I can bend the damn thing back to exactly where it was. I'll post the results when I've had a crack at it.
That's a bit of a reach (the protruding more bit), anyways it was a stick getting caught up, not anything to do with a strike. Could have happened to anyone running anything. In the 6+ years I've been running Sram this is the first time I've bent a mech. Good to see you've taken on the...
I would have thought the frame would be protected better if the hanger bent when force was applied to the mech. The stronger the hanger the more force is applied to the frame.
I'll definitely try and straighten it by hand, but I'm wondering how to do this without bending what may well be a perfectly straight hanger. I guess the cage bent before the hanger initially, so hopefully the same thing happens when I crank on it. Umm, hang on, why didn't the hanger bend and...
You're spot on regarding the more linear nature, which takes a bit of getting used to. I've reduced the BPC setting to the absolute minimum amount of lever throw and now have the levers wound out to a point where they also come within a hair of hitting the finger. With these settings, my levers...
I can get a new one for $150, but it would take a while to be shipped from Taiwan. The group set I have currently was purchased from one of the many people who buy a new bike with Eagle and strip it immediately to run Shitmano.
Taking this approach, it appears the body may well be twisted (refer pics)
Angle definitely changes as it moves through the range.
Well, that was an expensive exercise! Got all of 100km out of it. Glad I went GX and paid less for the entire group set than an XX1 derailleur.
There's an entire thread on this issue. It's a manufacturing defect that will be replaced under warranty, so head to your nearest lbs, preferably the one where you purchased you bike or brakes and they'll replace them.
That's what I told my insurance company and they saw things differently.
It does look like there's an angle where the mech doings the cage, but I can't tell if that's normal as I don't have another mech to compare it to. It could mean the cage is bent massively.
Mech is so much easier to...
I got a stick caught in my derailleur and something is totally bent. Looking at the derailleur and hanger, it's really hard to tell which it is. The hanger looks like it's still flat (and sits flush on a flat surface), but I guess it only has to be a fraction off to cause the derailleur to sit a...
It seems the dual compound is only in foldable and they only do Maxx Grip in 3C or super tacky for wirebead. I want a full DH tyre, I've tried Double Down and whilst it held up better than EXO, it ultimately failed. Only comes in 2.3 anyway, I want 2.4WT.
