Thanks for all the replies, I managed to sort out my problem by getting a faulty derailleur from one of the people on The Hub. Now I just need to move the working parts from the "parts" unit to mine.

Hi everyone, Hope it's ok for me to put a wanted add in this section, didn't know where else to put it. I'm desperately looking for a faulty XX1 AXS derailleur to try fix a problem with my recently deceased unit. The clutch on my derailleur decided to seize and after a lot of checking and contacting people it is deemed to be an unserviceable part. What I'm looking for is a parts derailleur which has the P-Knuckle still in tacked so that I can swap it with mine. I also need the torsion spring, because in the process of trying to fix it one of the LBSs broke the spring. I really hope someone can help me. It turns out the XX1 and XO1 AXS groupsets are now obsolete, and even if i could find a new one I cant afford R15k right now. I've attached a picture of the part that I need.

That's what I was worried about. Cycle Lab says clutch/cage assembly, but I told them I cant see how to remove it... Guess they don't really know. Thanks for the reply

Ok, I'll see if I can find one through my LBS. Thanks for your help

I've been trying to find an example of the cage assembly, but all I can find is the csixx one, and that doesn't look like it comes with a clutch. Do you have any idea who I can ask?

Thanks for the reply, the clutch on this thing is completely enclosed in the derailleur, so I cant even see if it's clogged or now. Also have no idea how you would get it out if you want to replace it... When I rotate the clutch from the Allen key side it's stiff, but smooth. But the whole thing rotates, which I'm not sure if it should do that.

Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone can help me diagnose an issue with my derailleur. Recently, shifting started becoming unreliable. When I took a closer look, I noticed that the cage wasn’t returning to its normal position after shifting, which left the chain hanging loose. It feels like the cage has lost its spring tension. I disassembled the derailleur to check it, and when I reinstall the cage onto the clutch assembly and tighten it, the cage becomes completely stiff and doesn’t return, even after correctly pre-tensioning the spring. Could this be a problem with the clutch mechanism itself? Is this something that can be repaired, or does it mean the derailleur needs to be replaced? Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Sorry if I missed anyones comments, I thought everyone stopped replying when I stopped receiving notifications. Thanks again for the help.

Luckily it's a manual garage door, so I should notice something on the roof before reversing in ????

Hey bud, we all have our crap days. Only just noticed your comments anyway (For some reason the system stopped notifying me of replies to the thread). Luckily I don't care what anyone thinks of how I make spelling miskates (Especially English as I'm Afrikaans). Maybe just take a deep breath before insulting/criticising someone without knowing that person first. Take it easy

Quick update on this post. The A45 arrived and I came to the conclusion that the only option is a roof rack. There is no possibility for a tow bar, and the boot hanger versions won't work either because the area where the mounting hooks go onto the car is all plastic, so not strong enough. So I got a Thule Wingbar Edge system with a Pro ride mount. Now I just need to make sure I don't go under any low trees or anything that'll rip my bike right off.... Thanks for all the advise guys!

First place I'll be going after the car gets delivered is the Thule fitment center, for sure.

Thanks, I'll keep those options in mind.

I also saw those posts, thanks. That's why I started looking at other options. I don't really want to mess around with the bumper, silencers or anything else back there. The warranty is very important, so I don't want to lose it.

Was going to mention that. I had an ML500 which completely destroyed the plastic wheel holders on my bike rack.
