• Before shortening the chain, I believe the hanger link-plate that connects the RD pivot to the frame mech hanger should be facing backwards, rather than down, at least so it is on all my bikes.

    Check page 8 here

    See precision diagram below:

  • Good call!

  • Good spot!

    The locating tab on the mech should be touching the ‘hook’ on the hanger.

  • Think this was the issue?

    But now the chain is too short? Should not have removed those two links

    Does this look secure? (Pic 2)

    Guess I can order more chain?

    Honestly, have no idea what’s going on anymore, think I’m going to leave it for today

    I am over saturated with bike content and my brain is fuzzy, thank you all for your kind help
