Ok this bike is now 99% done. I just wanted to see who has used the problem solver axle in an M1 and gotten it to work with a Saint derailleur?

If so can you explain how you got the drive side slot in the Saint into the frame tight enough?

Pics would be great!

Have you tried shimming the problem solver axle (adding shims to the non drive side)?
I was hoping I was missing a part. Basically the tab on the back of the saint is to thin to fit snug in the frame!:rant:

So I may have to go another route...

If not I may be able to use a shim or two to tighten it up.

I am running a problem solver axle in an M1 with a Saint derailleur. It bolted right on. Do you have a horizontal drop out saint derailleur?

Its the M800 variety. Don t have the box here with me. So I am not 100% sure it is horizontal.

Did you use the QR Intense adapter on the rear dropouts or just the 12mm as is?
