SRAM XX RD Problem

[EZRider]

Sorry for the jack, we were just having a little fun.

Jatho,

 

My dad's XX RD was doing the exact thing. Replaced the jockey wheels with a set of aonx (something like that from cwc) fixed the problem.

Had the same problem on my mates XX.....

There is a pin which holds the cage to the derailleur.

This pin wears and the spring jumps a position, making the cage very slack=chain slap.

Striped and re-assemble and it's been perfect.

Haven't found a replacement pin yet.

I have the exact same issue, mostly happens when i'm in the small chain ring. 1.5 years ago as a new RD, worked like a bomb, now i have the tension pulley issue.

 

I haven't tried changing the wheels yet, will be interesting to know.

 

For now, i'm going to put a cable tie on the side it keeps jumping to to reduce the gap so the chain won't fit and go back to the pulley wheel

 

Roadie fix to a MTB problem or have i officially become a MTBer
