    Sure I’ve seen this on here before, I’ve posted at least once but it was not long after the group was launched (105/5800)

    Every 12 months or so the bottom of the cage starts bouncing up and down with the chain miss-aligning on the gear, last weekend it involved the rear mech bouncing up and ripping itself off (through peddling force I admit….) and bending the rear hanger.

    Checked all the usual, hanger straight, chain length, chain direction, indexing, everything you’d usually go through.

    Is it a known fault?

    Tempted to go Ultegra chain/cassette/RM this time around

    Interesting as I had the same problem on my last frame….every so often the rear mech would jump up and down like a banshee when in the larger cogs. Never got the bottom of it as it happened quite infrequently. Since then I have swapped frames and cables and the problem seems to have gone but I wont rule it coming back as I havent ridden the new frame much. I wonder whether its related to chain alignment?

    Sounds like a stiff link.

    That’s exactly how it behaves SR, I’m using a Shimano 105 chain installed by the pin (I very rarely find these stiff link if joined correctly) and checked after.
