I’m currently running an MX8 cassette (the black one) in a 1×10 arrangement with an XT chain, XT rear mech thats running a RAD cage and Goat link and Saint shifter.
The gears were set up by my LBS as I hate indexing ….. yes, yes, I know do it at home etc etc
So ….. the issue.
Gear are indexed and shift well up an down the block.
When in the 2nd, 3rd & 4th possibly 5th sprockets the there is an audible noise a little like you get when a gear hasn’t quite engaged or if the indexing is out or your chain and cassette haven’t worn at the same rate.
The bike is a rigid 29er so no odd things happening with chain length growth and the chain is the right length of the set up.
Has anyone else noticed this?
If so does it calm down with a little wear?
Its odd as no one I’ve ridden with has noticed the noise but I can hear it (man).
Help?
