    got a strange issue that’s been there from day one on my new eagle setup, its a minor niggle but annoys me all the same

    the gears shift absolutely amazingly, up and down the cassette, no problem at all, the b tension has been set, as have all the limit screws etc

    the only issue I’m having with it is, when I fast shift up into the 42t cog (second biggest cog), the chain isn’t meshing with the cog, it sits on top of the 42t cog, making a skipping gear type noise, its not really an issue, because if I shift up one at a time it doesn’t do this, its just a bit annoying as sometimes the fast shift up is needed when you forget to change gear before a climb

    it literaly only does it when its fast shifted up into 42t cog, not in any other gear at all (its perfect in the bigger 50t cog)

    so the 42t is the problem for what ever reason, and only when you go up to it fast

    I know the solution is to slowly change into it (which I’m doing), but id like it to be perfect

    any thoughts? had some suggestions of folks to no avail so far and lbs had thought theyd cured it but its still the same

    the mech hanger is straight and been checked, and all items were new inc new chainring

    Did you use the little red plastic thingy to setup the gears? That helped me get the shifting even more awesome’er. 😉

    yip used the tool initially, and when sagged, but still there, also tried without and ran the b-tension much closer from some suggestions also, but still the same

    ahh well ill just have to shift up into slowly, just wondered if anyone else had the same issue, it probably isn’t even noticeable if you don’t fast shift
