WrightJnr Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 Mine was very noisy when I had a 34 Woolftooth on the front. When I changed to a 32 RaceFace all the noises went away.
HTFU Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 What about b-tension, gyide pulley might be too close causing issue on that sprocket. Try adjust b-tension screw half a turn in. If no change turn it back to where it was then at least you know it's not that.
robsc Posted May 16, 2016 Author Posted May 16, 2016 Okay so I finally got to sort it out . I stripped the cassette on Friday night and (under a magnifying glass) I saw a very very small "bur" on one of the angled teeth on the 13 tooth sprocket , I took my Leatherman diamond edge file and filed it away . Problem gone . Inspecting it once assembled I could see that the "bur" would randomly touch/hook the outer plate of the chain . Not every revolution of the crank would result in the burred tooth aligning with the outer link , sometimes it would align with an inner link and wouldnt make contact . Bike is now beautifully quietÂ

Fritz Ferreira Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Hi, I have the same problem on my Shimano Deore XT 2 x 11 drive train. I've done the following with no success. The MTB had this problem from brand new. It is a problem on the Deore, SLX and Deore XT variants also. Upgraded the following to get rid of the clicking noise:shifter from Deore to Deore XTcassette from SLX to Deore XTchain from KMC to Deore XTchanged cables and outer housingchanged Deore XT chain rings from 24/34 to 26/36I still have this clicking issue. If I lube the chain it stops for a few kilometers and starts again. Avoiding that gear completely now! Going to try BDF's fix!Â
