Got a yeti 575 and trying to set up front mech.
I have a shimano slx front mech and SRAM xo shifter.
It's a triple and the problem is I can get the gears to shift perfectly on the stand but as soon as I sit on the bike the shifting goes to pot!
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Richard

Outer cable not long enough and getting stretched tight when the suspension is compressed? Easily done if the cable routing is under the BB in particular

I did think that , the outer finishes athe bottom bracket, it's inner under the bb and up to the mech.

Have you checked the height over the big ring?

I get an "R" and he gets a "Richard"?!!? I'm out.....
should only be 1-2mm gap iirc, although I still wouldn't expect to see that causing the issue.

Sag setting on rear shock seems to be the culprit, checked and set for my weight and now shifting perfectly. thanks for your help.
