So probably a dumb question, but I have not really kept up on bike standards the last year or 2.
I just installed my brand new 11 speed drivetrain on my megatrail yesterday. And it seems like it'll shift perfectly, but then when i crank on it, it kinda "skips" into position for some reason. It's not really "skipping" but it feels more like the chain is stelling onto the chainring while it flexes or something. Hard to explain. It's loud, and annoying, and I can feel a slight movement. I think I have this narrowed down to 3 possible root causes
1. Chainring needs to be spaced inboard a little more
2. Cassette issue?
3. Frame flexing or alignment issue? (no way this can be the problem)
My main question is (and please forgive me here), how do you install an 11 speed cassette? The 11 speed XT cassette didn't come with a spacer like the 10 speed cassette did. However when I installed it onto my hadley hub, there was a little bit of play. I tried putting the 10 speed cassette spacer behind it, and that seemed to fix it. But could that be causing my problem?
I originally got this 11 speed drivetrain because I have having a similar, but worse probelm with the 10 speed drivetrain. This seemed to help a little bit, but still not working perfectly.
(and yes, I can tune a dereailluer)
