    hi bud.no it,s still off the bike.used the old xt today and all was well.
    i,ll get round to sussing it out when i get some free time.
    thanks for asking though.
    i,d leave that one if i where you buzz.
    that,s unless you can collect.
    all you,ll get from ebay is an unpaid item strike which is sod all.

    not enough detail in the listing for someone who,s into mtb.
    HOT.
    if you scan the bikes on ebay enough they stick out like a sore thumb.
    legit sellers usually go into at least some detail.

    yer you could shim it out but unfortunately that would not effect the chain jumping.

    think iv,e sussed out one problem.
    in tech doc,s it says that the outer plate should sit basically on the edge of the bash.1mm in ,1mm up.if you do this with a blackspire bash the chain rubs like f..k on the outer plate.so mine was set out by about 5mm(not up).
    don,t know how to get out of that one.
    both rings are set right.small tab behind arm.
    this is the mech in question

    right…just done it in slow motion..
    the chain seems to be sticking to the front of the 36 as i change down to the granny so as it comes to the bottom it kind of flicks over the granny.
    both the chain and the 36 have only done about 100 miles.
