JoshK Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Looks to short. Use this to calc correct length: http://www.machinehead-software.co.uk/bike/chain_length/chainlengthcalc.html
koukie Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Sorry off topic, that is a 10 speed derailleur? So you just use a 11speed shifter?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Sorry off topic, that is a 10 speed derailleur? So you just use a 11speed shifter?Looks like a Praxis / Sunrace cassette, so still 10sp.
Reden Posted January 22, 2016 Author Posted January 22, 2016 Nope. Sunrace yes but...10spd shifter and derailer but all 11spd. http://www.rapide.co.za/product/sram-11-speed-upgrade-kit/

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Can you post a pic of the "shifter adapter" please?
raptor-22 Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 The pic is on the rapide site. Its the doofie next to the cassette. Replace the ratchet wheel in the shift with the supplied

raptor-22 Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Reden,An easy way to check the chain length is to fit the chain. Insert the quick link but don't lock it in place.In the 32 x42 gear ratio or whatever the largest cog is, the derailleur cage pulley wheels should be as close to perpendicular to the ground with the bike level to the ground. Shorten the chain till the pulley wheels centre line is in this position.Then check that the 32x10 or 11 gear is workable without the chain rubbing on itself as it loops over the top pulley and exits from the bottom pulley wheel (I assume you will be back pedaling when checking).

Thanks will do.A bit of expensive blunder this.
Kiwi Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Huh? Pinging Kiwi - how does this work!? Hi Myles, Its this little part here: https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/173401-sram-11-speed-shifter-upgrade/ And the kit: https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/173402-rapid%C3%A9-sram-11-speed-upgrade-kit/ One of the pics shows the basic install steps. Very cool. Been racing/training on mine for 6 months now (converted from X9 2x10 shifter and rear derailleur).
