MAJs gay bikes [she’s in her fitness era]

Missed that, and yeah 1x is 4 links, or 6 if a full susser, defo if it's the newer 12 speed stuff.

Obviously it's not full sus though, it's much cooler.

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

That's the ticket. Put the chain on and if it fits on the biggest gears without grinding, you're fine

If it's happy in the big cog then all good.

It doesn’t matter if the rd is stretch out in the 11t?

What do you mean by stretched out?

In the 11t, all the chain should do is not touch the RD cage. Then you're golden.

Looks like this

Edit: Brain is trained to look at it from a 2x perspective.

You want the chain tighter for snappier shifting so Shimano & Sram suggest setting up your chain length as the shortest possible for the big cog (the 2 link method)
Everything else will work fine from there and be less sloppy

How does it look in the largest sprocket?

Haha!

yep! golden ticket

That'll do nicely

OK, maybe it's perfect. Dial in the B-screw and you're good.

Armchair mechanicing here, but maybe wind the b tension screw out a bit, let the top jockey wheel sit closer to the largest sprocket?

YOOOOOOOO

IT BE SHIFTING UP AND DOWN

You've been taken in by things just not being slack in small small on short cage derailleurs, those guys suck.

Thank you all omd

The bike works 😫😫😫😫

Yep, and to my eyes it looks like the shifter outer is too short after the final cable tie, limiting natural movement of the mech.

Is there enough slack to slide some more through to the rear?

I’ve just slid some more through!!

I’m out here!!!

Riding my bike!!!

Have fun!

So good!

BB so lofty! How's it feel?

It feels painfully slow, mega plush and super tall!

What more could you want from a bike!!!

I’m now going to make another burger and process this all, I will be taking it out for a proper spin tomorrow!!

Honestly, thank you all so much, this forum is so good and filled with sweet hearts!
