So iv just set my 10speed with a rear cassette up to 42 and with a narrow wide chainring 32T.
I seem to be getting resistance on the top ring when moving the pedal arms, its not rubbing on anything that I can see so a little confused as to why its no running freely
But its only when im pedaling slowly with hands it feels a little notchy, more noticeable when pedalling backwards
Is it an SLX clutch mech?
Mine was a pig to the extent I replaced it for an XT one.
Only happened with the clutch on though.
Failing that B tension screw wound in enough?
Yeh it is SLX M7000 and clutch is on, I cant wind my b tension in any further. I think its fine to ride but not sure if it was supposed to be like that
M7000 is 11 speed?
and 10 Speed
I ended up using a rad cage on the xt mech. everything has been solid since then. no reversed b screws and no derailment when pedaling backwards
Sorry whats derailment?
It's what usually happens when I contribute to a thread.
A common complaint for any 42t cog user is that the chain comes off when you pedal backwards (i.e. it comes off "the rails")
It's a job best left to a well-set up and functioning derailleur
If I spin it backworks 1 hard spin it manages 1 full rotation
No its not doing that, chain stays on no issues there
Is the chain the right length? I've had similar to this when the chain's been a couple of links too short.
I was just going to say did you lengthen the chain?
New chain on route, i think thats what it is
