Stuart M Posted March 29, 2021 Share Hi guys, i need some advice. i have a sram sx eagle. the shifting is pretty poor, has a tenancy to mash or jump gears it sounds very clicky and noisy. want to eventually upgrade to a GX derailleur, however in the meantime could i use the GX jockey wheels on my SX since they have a lot of play and seem to be the cause of a lot of noise?

DieselnDust Posted March 30, 2021 Share Suggest you take it to your local bike shop for an assessment. It could be a simple turn of the barrel adjuster or something more problematic like a loose derailleur jockey pulley cage to a even a bent derailleur hanger.How proficient are you at bicycle repairs?

madmarc Posted March 30, 2021 Share Has the RD been fine tuned using the RED plastic gauge that it is supplied with ? This is critical to ensure smooth shifting - SX - NX - GX all shift same if its setup correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a second opinion. Try Xciter at Waterfall centrei've set up so many of them they work just as well as the more expensive options. There has been a couple of problems with a cassette here and there having a slightly bent tooth which is solved under warranty or a pair of pliers but the SX is essentially the same as the NX but priced for OEM's Edited March 31, 2021 by DieselnDust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
