  1. Hey DR, sorry for belated response Bolt is tight yes, hoping the new chain and cables will sort out the shifting, putting them on today
  2. Appreciate the offer Edereese! Im all the way in Paarl but i bought a new chain chain and cables so hoping that will sort it out!
  3. Sorry for late reply, i kinda follow that process on initial setup of the derailleur but i just bought a new chain and inner / outer cable so when setting up ill do just that!
  4. yoyo! Sorry somehow the reply notifications slipped by me To answer your questions: Granny and all the gears were shifting immaculately before hub service I reckon that cassette has 2000km on it? Got a new chain beginning of year but didnt ride as much The cassette sits tightly on with the lock-ring on, no play, there's a reasonable gap between spokes, can fit a finger between it Buy a new bike! thats exactly what i was thinking, Wreckoning V2 should solve all the shifting issues haha I was going to service the hub and BB but haven't yet Limit screws etc were all done, i know 12spd eagle needs a special B tension tool which im going to borrow UPDATE: i bought a chain checker and this chain is vrot bananas haha, was in-between 0.75 and 1.0! So i bought a new chain, and also a new inner and outer housing cable as well, im pretty sure those should work, hoping the cassette is fine also Thanks again for the advice and always appreciate a good essay!
  5. just did some reading up and the i9 hubs dont need use a spacer i wonder what it could be!
  6. Its possible its in the wrong place, ill take the cassette off tomorrow after my ride and check!
  7. appreciate the offer, im in CT though
  8. Ah yes sorry, its NX with shimano freehub body Thats what i thought it might be but i was pretty careful with all the cogs, but i didnt see an extra spacer, is it possible to fit it on the wrong side? surely it wouldn't fit there?
  9. Howdy I decided to take the plunge and do my first rear hub / freehub full service, bearings and alles (industry 9 hub) But when i put everything back on the bike and went for a ride i noticed the granny gear kept wanting to drop down So adjusted indexing on the trail and didnt really help Back home i checked hangar, redid the limit screws, and indexed to the point where it stays on the lowest gear mostly, but didnt compromise the highest gear It almost looks like the cassette is too close to the wheel and thats throwing the alignment off, is that possible? if it was too far away from the wheel i would think i fitted something wrong but too close sounds weird, unless there is a spacer thats to go at the end of the cassette or the lock ring is too right? I didn't use a bearing press but they looked pretty flush on the hub Drive train is a Sram 1x12 Eagle with an XO derailleur Any help would be greatly appreciated because im an unfit sack of **** and granny gear is my only friend Gratitude
  10. I'm popping into your shop later this morning droo
  11. dude it's a huuuuuuuge mission do above like mentioned, but then the positive chamber comes clean off with the air canister, and the autosag connection seals it on and cant be removed (tried everything) Going to ask a pro tomorrow and will keep you posted L
  12. Another small hurdle, Sent you a pm
  13. Update: it's off. The part below the sag was locked Success! Thanks BaGearA!
  14. Update: Got O ring out (wife had an actual pick) Still can't twist the can off though Twisting anticlockwise, all the air completely out the can etc...
  15. I took the valve off (thanks) but the Aircan hardly twists so must be the O ring. I've tried taking it off with a make shift pick but can you see how it's wedged under there, it's impossible to get to
