I recently changed cassette from an 11-36t SLX HG81 to a SunRace CSMX3 11-40t and on my first proper ride my rear brake locked up twice and I had to reseat the wheel in the dropouts.
I was wondering if anyone had experienced torque from a large (11-40t) cassette pulling a QR mounted wheel out of the drop outs? I've heard of something similar happening under disc braking on the front.
My other concern is that the derailleur is not clearing the cassette quick enough when I dump several gears. I'm running 1x10 with a 30t upfront, using a SRAM S500 10spd bar-end shifter to move an X9 2.1 mech. I can shift a lot of gears quite fast. Would tightening the B-screw help here? The chain appears to be sized OK, there was plenty of clearance for the cage on the large sprocket when I had it in the stand and no noise when it's running.
