If I push the bottom of the derailleur (Shimano XT shadow +) arm forward there is movement before I feel the resistance of the clutch.This is allowing the chain to slap about.
I've taken the cover off and everything looks as it should do.
Anyone else had this and how do I get back to a slap free setup?
cheers

Park tool do a tool now for this. Must get one for the shop. http://www.parktool.com/product/derailleur-clutch-wrench-dw-2
My problem is not the amount of resistance but the free movement before the resistance starts.This allows the chain to go slack.
mine has always had a little bit (2-3mm at end of cage), but I assumed that was normal and never caused me any issues.
That tool is meant to adjust that play never tried it yet but i was talking to calvin at ice bike about it . Mine mech barely has any movement. No slap at all So no need of the tool just yet.
Any idea how you adjust the play then?
The tool looks like it's for adjusting the tension/resistance on the clutch.
Is this play normal?
