Hi folks,
I spent a few hours last night overhauling the drivetrain on a 1x9. The new setup is:
- SRAM X9 9-speed grishift
- SRAM X9 10-speed short cage rear mech
- Shimano Dura-Ace 9-speed cassette 12-21T
The bike is rigid and mainly carbon and is built for speed and flat singletrack. However, it's quite fundamentally compromised by the fact that I can't get the shifting dialed in! When it's crisp at the top of the cassette it's sloppy at the bottom, and vice-versa.
The previous setup was with an XT rapidfire and Dura Ace 7700 rear mech and that worked perfectly. What's the likely issue? Are there any standard tips for setting up a SRAM rear mech? Or is the mix of components I've chosen a non-starter?
Cheers,
Gareth.
