  • If it shifts fine with clitch off

    How stiff is the clutch? Pn the rear of it looking direct at b screw you can also adjust the pretension on the clutch. How much riding have you done on that rear mech, have you ever had the clutch apart and greases it? I bet it needs greasing if not.

    When a fat as fuck friend borrowed my mtb he has this issue. I took the clutch apart and greased it and it was fine.

    Maybe the clutch spring is too stiff and thus mech says no.

  • Thnx, will look into the clutch tension tomorrow. Been using this RD with the 11-34 cassettes for 2 years now w/o any issues. I wasn't aware the clutch needs maintenance.

  • Yup it will need greasing then will be full of dirt. Do this before adjusting tension.
    Should be a guide on YouTube.
