Ok, so was running my SRAM X9 shifter with an SLX bottom pull mech on my Lapierre. No problems and worked absolutely fine for months.
Now trying to set up the same X9 shifter but with a top pull high mount SLX mech on my Titus. Seems the first click shifts the mech from small ring to big ring in one jump. If I slacken the cable off so that it actually stops in the middle ring with the first click, then the cable is totally loose (and may as well not be clamped) when in the small ring.
I’ve changed the cable and not totally convinced I’ve threaded the cable in the shifter correctly. Does anyone have a photo of a circa 2007/08 X9 front shifter internal?
I have used the SLX mech in question before on a triple ring set up, so it does work ok.
I know its SRAM/Shimano, but I thought front mech and shifter were compatible? Or worked ok previously at least.
The mech cage is ~2mm above the chainrings as its meant to be.
Anyone got any idea?
