My bike has been giving me shifting headaches for a while. After watching this video I checked my derailleur bolt. It was loose, problem solved! Thanks for pointing that out 👍👍👍
I had issue with spring for pulley cage. When I was downshifting derailleur stayed in place😂. It was a mess inside when I took off pulley cage. Cleaned and greased. Works like new.
One other thing that's quite easy to check. The cogs on the cassette should rotate in a plane normal to the axle of the hub. If it's possible to wobble those cogs out of a normal plane then it usually results in imprecise shifting. The wobble is either due to the cassette lock ring being loose or the freehub bearings being worn. With the former tighten it. With the latter replace the feehub body.
This seems facetious, but if you're here and at your wits end (and can afford it) try axs. Set up took 5mins, batteries last forever, I've battered it and I have complete faith in my shifting 100% of the time. Riding is thoroughly more enjoyable now. There is a cage tension issue with the original axs that slaps around a bit but as it's only downfall, totally worth it (slap issue resolved and also no hanger to bend on the new T-type!). My Eebs came with XT and it's quiet and awesome but eventually it was prone to all of Henry's issues in the video.
Having bikes with 135QR dropouts, an impromptu hanger alignment gauge is a rear wheel with a 10mm threaded solid axle. Thread the axle into the hanger, thread and tighten a nut on the other side, compare alignment between wheels, and bend the hanger true.
So what causes a new chain to skip out of the 51 ring when you ratchet pedal? Tried the b tension and it helped for a while but went back pretty quick. Nothing is bent… can’t figure it out.
If it happens when you backpedal, the chain doesnt come onto the cog from the derrailleur instead it comes from the chainring directly, you certainly have a chainline issue tht makes the chain work in a bad angle and make is jump down when backpedaling
Have you increased cable tension at the shifter by turning the barrel screw? If you screw it out it will increase tension and screw it in decrease tension.
My XT rear mech shreds inner shift cables right at the clamp. Been riding 28 years and have never had this problem. I replace the thing about every 12 rides now. Cant figure out how to stop it.
I can only imagine, if you don't know his name, that you haven't watched PB that much in the first place. But thanks for sharing, I'm sure someone is better off, somewhere, maybe.......if you had to guess, how many people do you think found benefit in Henry's contribution vs yours?
