I have a SRAM X9 rear mech, when fitted the mech has a bit of float along the pivot bolt. Theres no wear but it can slide side to side a bit. Am I missing a washer between the mech and the frame or is the float there on purpose?
 
Always ask the dumb questions...

Is the mech hanger bolt done up all the way?

Is there a problem with the frame's mech hanger?

Does the mech hanger thread need chasing?

Have you compared your mech to others to see if there's bit's missing.

Is the B tension screw contacting the frame's screw stop?
 
Hi chaps, thanks for the pointers. I built it up anyway and it works superbly. I assume its just a little float to help with alignment.
